Answer 
No, ASL has its own grammar. Key differences:
1. Word order – ASL uses Topic-Comment (e.g., "Store I go" instead of "I go to the store").
2. No articles – No "a," "an," or "the."
3. Facial expressions – Show grammar & tone.
4. Verb inflections – Indicated by movement, not tens
e words.

No, American Sign Language (ASL) does not have the same grammatical rules as spoken English. ASL is its own complete language with its own grammar, structure, and syntax. For example:
•ASL uses a different word order—often Topic-Comment instead of Subject-Verb-Object like English.
Example: “Store I go” instead of “I go to the store.”
•Facial expressions and body language are part of the grammar and can show tone, emotion, or even mark questions.
•ASL doesn’t use articles like “a” or “the,” and it handles verb tenses and plurals differently.
Even though ASL and English are both used in the U.S., they’re completely different languages
