Hey signers! Welcome to Learn How to Sign. Today, this video is dedicated to routines,
from how often you do something, to what is actually a part of your routine.
Well, let's get to it and learn how to sign routines.
Before we begin specific vocabulary, here are ways to sign duration of time. For
example, if you are wanting to sign every morning, every afternoon, and every evening,
you would need to sign it with a sweeping movement like this, every morning, every afternoon,
every night. Think of this as going across the week of a calendar, every morning, every
afternoon, every evening. For any specific day of the week, you're going to make a downward movement
like a calendar and you're looking at each Monday of the week just like this. Every Monday, every
Tuesday, every Wednesday, Thursday or Thursday Th-Th-Th, every Friday, every Saturday, and then
Sunday, you just move it down. Every week is signed like this, week after week after week after week.
This is showing that it's repeated because of this continuous circle. For more signs having to do with
time check out our video right here. Now let's get into routine signs. 'Schedule or calendar' your
hand is like the schedule or the calendar and it's making the grids going across 'schedule or calendar.'
'Early, early,' your non-dominant hand is the horizon and your dominant hand is the sun
peeking over early in the morning 'early.' 'Late, late,' you're pushing it back like into the past

and your dominant hand is the broom sweeping 'sweep.' 'Before we practice sentences about routines,
it's important to know that an ASL structure time is signed at the beginning of the sentence.
For example, I take a shower every night would be, 'every night me shower me.' Now let's put these signs
into sentences. I eat breakfast, brush my teeth and feed my dog every morning. 'Every morning
me eat breakfast, brush my teeth, and feed my dog me.' Notice that when I had multiple things
that I'm doing in the morning, I shoulder shift compartmentalizing each thing that I'm doing.
I wash my car every Saturday. 'Every Saturday me car wash me.'
Trash days are every Monday and Thursday. 'Every Monday every Thursday me trash take out me.'
