She has a hard time expressing her thoughts and ideas, has trouble finding words within her mental lexicon, and has immature morphology and syntactic structure, omitting verb tense and agreement and gender reversal (Hogan, Bridges, Wymer & Volk, as cited in Chabon & Cohn, 2010). Judging from her age, Tessa should be in Brown’s stage V+ and should be able to use past tense “be” auxiliary and main verbs, and show infrequent use of the present progressive tense. She presents at stage Late IV/Early V where the regular past tense first emerges (Justice & Ezell, 2008). Due to her Late IV/Early V stage presentation and her lack of appropriate use of verb tense endings, the author will focus his teaching on verbs.

They are informal words and are part of the modal verb such as “gonna” for “got to”. They are important to recognize because they are an early-developing linguistic structure (Justice & Ezell, 2008). A “be” verb, also called a linking verb, can be classified as both an auxiliary verb and a main verb (Justice & Ezell, 2008). According to Veit (1999), these verbs “express being” and can act as the verbal equivalent of an equal sign to tell us that one thing is equal to another. This can be seen in the example “Sandy is a nice girl”. The “be” verb “is” links, or equates, Sandy to being nice (p.

    American Sign Language is a unique language with diverse syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and morphemes, which includes grammatical aspects which are not present in English including classifiers. Despite the limited research in specific areas of ASL, due to ASL not being officially recognized as a language until 1960, the importance of classifiers is indisputable.

They can express many different key pieces of information and are an extremely complex aspect of ASL grammar. Classifiers are essential to nearly all levels of storytelling, making both receptive and expressive…
