The sign 'together' uses both hands. Press both hands into fists, with the thumbs resting against the index fingers. This will make the A hand shapes. Press the knuckles of both hands together. With the hands pressed in front of you, bring the hands up a couple of times.
To express this sentence, you would sign 'we', 'go', and 'store', and then finish by pressing your 'A' handshape knuckles together. Bring them up a couple of times to sign 'together', clearly showing that the action of going to the store is a shared experience.
Begin by signing 'study', then bring your 'A' hands together so the knuckles touch firmly in front of you. Move them upward slightly a few times to indicate that the studying is being done as a pair or a group, rather than individually.
First, sign 'they' and 'live' to establish the subject and the action. Then, finish the thought by pressing the knuckles of your 'A' handshapes against each other and bouncing them upward a couple of times to emphasize their shared, unified living situation.

They are very closely related and use the exact same handshapes! 'With' is typically signed by simply bringing the 'A' handshapes together once. 'Together' often adds movement, such as the repeated upward motion described here, to emphasize an ongoing shared state, group activity, or continuous action.
No, your thumbs should not point straight up like you are giving a 'thumbs up.' For the correct 'A' handshape, your thumbs should rest comfortably against the side of your curled index fingers. Ensure your knuckles press together flatly, keeping the thumbs out of the way.
The upward motion should be relatively small and controlled. You only need to move your hands a few inches up and down in front of your chest. Avoid lifting your hands all the way to your face or making the movement too rigid; keep it natural and relaxed.
