In American Sign Language, the syntax (word order) is different than English.
In general, the word order follows a “Subject” + “Verb” + “Object” sentence structure. You will also see the structure “Time” + “Subject” + “Verb” + “Object”, or “Time” can be at the end of a sentence.
English: I went to Ireland a year ago.
ASL: last year me went (go + finish) Ireland.
Breaking it down:
“Time” – Year past
“Subject” – Me
“Verb” – went (go + finish)
“Object” – Ireland
