As in ....This is my fathers new car? I know how to sign two different signs for "father", but I need to know what do I do when I need to add an "S". Not just to the word "father", but to any word that needs an "s" added to it. Do I just leave the S off? Would I sign it like... "This is my father car." ?!?

If I understand ASL correctly, it is used very simply and not word for word. To say "this is my father's car" you would just sign four words: "this-my-father-car." The other person would know what you mean.

Yes you would leave the 's' off. By useing the sign for 'my' you are indicating the plural sense of 'fathers'.

I took signing a long time ago (ASL) and I do not believe there are "s". It is a very simple language.

I THINK THE PERSON WHO ANSWERED THAT YOU LEAVE OFF THE S IS RIGHT. I DO SIGN LANGUAGE JEWELRY AND DO A LOT OF SPECIALTY NAMES AND SAYINGS. LIKE ANY OTHER LANGUAGE IT GETS PERSONALIZED. I HOPE THIS HELPS
