How do you sign “Always” in ASL?
ALWAYS: ALWAYS in American Sign Language (ASL) marks what happens at all times. The video and GIF below demonstrate the sign.


When do you use ALWAYS in ASL?
ALWAYS handles habits and gentle exaggerations alike: always late, always hungry, always practicing. Frequency words let a signer talk about patterns instead of single events, which is where conversation starts to feel fluent. Compliments and complaints both lean on it, which says something about how habits get discussed.
It appears in Lesson 35 of Book 1.
