Whole Entity Classifier practice sentences
 

Classifier rule:  Give the pronoun sign first prior to using the classifier handshape.    CL:1 (also some number classifiers i.e. CL:2, CL:3, etc.) also indicates not only the individual(s) but its location, action and manner.   Manner refers to manipulating the sign to reflect details such as walking slowly, hunched over, moving quickly, falling down, or other characteristics.  Be sure to indicate the manner while working on the practice sentences.

Using the CL:1 handshape show:

1.    The boy came straight to me from the front.
2.    I hurried off to the right.
3.    The girl walked up to me and then turned left and walked away.
4.    I zigzagged straight ahead, and then came back.
5.    My girlfriend limped to me from the left.
 

Using two hands with the CL:1 handshapes, show:

1.    The girl and I went  away in opposite directions.
2.    I followed the man.
3.    The woman bumped me and I fell.
4.    The man and woman collided with each other and both fell over.
5.    The girl and boy walked very slowly to each other; both hunched over.

Use the appropriate CL handshape to sign the below:

1.    They ran that way!
2.    I walked up to the man and woman who were standing together.
3.    The three old ladies were moving at a snail's pace.
4.    The four men walked toward me and then quickly turned away.
