then makes the information either a statement or question by adding a comment

needed. However, WHY often acts as a bridge

How do I sign “and” and “or”? Since the word or implies a choice, ASL uses
WHICH to show options.
The word “and” is used differently in ASL than English. Generally, ASL does not use a specific sign because “and” is implied by a slight pause, head nod and change of eye gaze.

Fingerspell the abbreviation!
Don’t confuse the signs TO-LIVE and
ADDRESS. They are easily mistaken because they look very similar. But the movement of each sign is different.
Numbers 1-5 always face you except when signing about addresses and telephone numbers (giving information).
When counting in ASL, twist your hand towards you for numbers 1-5.
