This structure can be used to ask a question in American Sign Language. The video also shows a few example statements and questions. As you'll see, the word order is actually the same, but you'll notice the key difference is in the non-manual signals (NMS), or facial expressions. To sign a yes/no question, the most important NMS is to raise your eyebrows. You can also lean forward and hold your last sign. These signals indicate that you're asking a question and expect an answer!
