No, ASL does not use 'to be' verbs like 'am,' 'is,' or 'are.' You simply sign the pronoun 'I' followed directly by the adjective 'hungry.'
No, 'hungry' is a one-handed sign. If you use two 'C' hands moving down your chest, it becomes the sign for 'body.' Stick to using just your dominant hand.
You can emphasize the sign by making the downward motion slower and more deliberate, or by using a strong facial expression that shows you are famished. You can also sign 'starving' by using a 'C' handshape that twists slightly as it moves down.
