To sign "garage," hold your non-dominant hand flat in front of you with the palm facing down, representing the roof of the garage. Form your dominant hand into a "3" handshape, with your thumb, index, and middle fingers extended, which represents a vehicle. Move your dominant hand forward so it passes underneath your non-dominant hand, mimicking a car driving into a garage.
Sign "my," then "car," and finally use the sign for "garage" by moving your dominant "3" hand under your flat non-dominant hand.
Sign "please," then "garage," and follow it with the signs for "door" and "close" to show the action of shutting it.
Sign "today," "we," "clean," and then "garage," making sure the "3" handshape moves smoothly under the "roof" hand.

The "3" handshape (thumb, index, and middle fingers extended) is a standard ASL classifier used to represent land vehicles like cars, trucks, and motorcycles. In this sign, it represents the car parking!
No, your dominant hand does not need to touch the non-dominant hand. It should simply glide closely underneath it, just like a car doesn't touch the roof of the garage when pulling in.
Yes! If you are left-handed, your right hand will act as the flat "roof" and your left hand will form the "3" handshape and move underneath it. Always use your dominant hand for the moving part.
