In Task 1 and Task 9 we talked about forming negative sentences. As a review, remember negative sentences can be done in several ways:

• with a head shake
• adding a negative glosses at the end of the sentence
• using a negative before the verb
• using a negative word incorporated into the sign.

As a review of Classifiers and SASSes, re-read Task 1. Remember there are two groups of signs used as classifiers:

1. Those made with a particular handshape, representing a noun or pronoun. We refer to them in writing as CL.
2. Classifiers that describe the shape, size, etc. of a noun. The second group is referred to in ASL as SASSes (Size and Shape Specifiers). We refer to them in writing as CL.

For further details and specific explanation as to use, refer back to previous lessons in Task 1.
