When do you use the sign WANT?
WANT drives requests, plans, and daydreams alike. It is among the first verbs children acquire in any language, and in ASL classrooms it powers endless practice sentences about wanting coffee or wanting more time. Menus and shopping lists give it endless natural practice outside the classroom.
The challenge places it in Lesson 49 with LIKE and LOVE.
