Rhetorical & WH...answers?

[AquaBlue]

I had to translate the following English statements into ASL statements. Are my answers correct?

Rhetorical Questions are used for emphasis, unexpected answers, and ironic situations- not for common situations. The signer is asking a question of themselves that need not be answered.

Rhetorical Question Examples:

I hired, why? I 15 years, long time ago, experience work.

I found the remote control in the bathroom.

WH Questions ask, Who, What Where, Why, When, Which, and How?

Where do you live?

Hi AquaBlue.. there are several ASL Instructors here across the board.. they may post up suggestions about ASL. One thing I can offer is the use of your eyebrows to emphasize the WH questions. Facial expressions is very important in ASL conversations. Your revisions are correct because I am an ASL instructor and I've signed them out exactly as you've typed them.
