have/has etc.

Hi all!

I'm pretty new to bsl and just wanted a bit of help.

What is the sign for have and is it the same when talking in different persons (for has/had) or does it change? I read somewhere that the sign for has changes depending what context you are signing in, like if you are saying you own something (eg- i have a brother) vs a characteristic you have (eg- i have long hair). Is this right and if so, what are the signs for these.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi Lola,

Can I just check. Is the sign for son also used for brother. The only sign for brother I know is both knuckles infront of body moving up and down?

Thanks for help

Hey Sue,

You are correct, I have indeed used the wrong sign- I used the sign for Son/Boy instead of the sign for Brother (Brother is most defiantly two knuckles knocking together) 

Glad someone Is checking these haha
