How is GIVE used in ASL?
GIVE moves gifts, favors, and the salt across the table. ASL points the verb through space toward the receiver, so giving to me and giving to you differ in direction, a piece of grammar students find satisfyingly logical. Holidays hand it a busy season.
It appears in Lesson 43 of Book 2.
