How do you sign “When” in ASL?
WHEN: WHEN in American Sign Language (ASL) asks about time. Watch the video and animation below to see it signed.


How is WHEN used in ASL?
WHEN pins down plans: when the class starts, when the bus leaves, when you are free. Time questions drive scheduling, and this sign runs that desk. Like its WH siblings it takes question-marking facial grammar along for the ride.
Lesson 5 of the challenge teaches it in the question family.
