To sign 'I want to go home,' begin by pointing your index finger to your chest to signify 'I.' Next, hold both hands out with palms facing up and fingers slightly curved, then pull them towards your body for 'want.' Finally, point both index fingers forward and move them outward for 'go,' and finish by touching your grouped fingers to your cheek near your mouth, then near your ear for 'home.'
Start by signing 'tired' by placing your curved hands on your chest and dropping them downward, letting your shoulders slump slightly. Then, smoothly transition into the sequence for 'I want to go home.' Make sure to use a weary facial expression to clearly emphasize your fatigue and desire to leave.
To ask this question, sign 'now' by bringing both 'Y' hands downward in front of you. Then, sign 'you want go home.' Since this is a yes/no question, it is crucial to raise your eyebrows and lean forward slightly while signing to indicate that you are asking a question.
Begin by establishing the context: sign 'movie' by rubbing your dominant hand side-to-side over your non-dominant palm, then sign 'finish' to indicate 'after.' Following this, sign the phrase 'I want to go home.' Pausing slightly between the context and the main phrase helps make your sentence clear.

No, you do not need to sign 'to.' ASL has its own distinct grammar and syntax that does not always translate word-for-word from English. For this phrase, simply signing the core concepts 'I,' 'want,' 'go,' and 'home' is the correct and natural way to convey the meaning.
For this specific, simple phrase, signing 'I WANT GO HOME' is the most standard and natural word order in ASL. It closely mirrors the English structure, making it very straightforward for beginners. Changing the order might confuse the listener or change the emphasis of your sentence.
In ASL, facial expressions and the intensity of your movements convey tone and degree. To show strong desire, pull your hands in more sharply and quickly during the sign for 'want.' Pair this with a strong facial expression, such as furrowed brows or an exhausted look, to emphasize your feelings.
