Over summer break, you run into your ASL teacher at the mall and she asks you how you are enjoying the summer weather. Which word will you see signed when she asks this?

• A. summer
• B. weather
• C. enjoy
• D. how

Answer: (A)

When signing a question like this, you include signs for how, you, enjoy, the season, and the weather. The phrase explicitly mentions the summer season, so the sign that marks the topic of the question is the sign for summer. That sign identifies what the question is about—how you’re enjoying the summer weather. The other signs (how, you, enjoy, weather) are part of the sentence, but the season sign is the anchor that signals the topic being asked about.
