yet another asl grammar question - use of "how"
I have a question about the use of the word "how" mid-sentence.
If I wanted to say: He is changing how the business works. would I sign it like.. "he change how business work" ... "he change business work" ...or is there a better way? thanks ![]() ![]() ![]()

Hey, Your thoughts are not that bad but I was thinking more like down the line of -- "He how change business works" Just a suggestion.

In that sentence, it seems that the concept is not "work" or "success" but the way business is conducted. He is changing (current on-going changes) the way business operates (or functions). We don't know whether or not those changes are successful.
The statement is that he is making changes in the way business does things. The question is, "how"? Take it from there....

It is used when one wants to know how something is done.
In English, we use "how" many more ways. how definition | Dictionary.com |
