To interpret the English sentence "I'm going to the movies tomorrow" into ASL gloss, you need to understand the structure and components of both English and ASL. Here's a breakdown of the interpretation:
First, identify the main components of the sentence:
1. Subject: "I"
2. Verb: "going"
3. Place: "movies"
4. Time: "tomorrow"
Based on these components, the best interpretation would be:

2. Movie: Sign the ASL concept for "movie," which involves forming the letter "C" with your dominant hand, facing it outwards, and then tapping your thumb and fingers together twice.
3. Me: Sign the ASL concept for "me" by pointing to yourself with an index finger.
4. Go: Sign the ASL concept for "go" by using your dominant hand and extending your index finger, pointing it in the direction you are going.
Putting it all together, the ASL gloss interpretation would be:
"TOMORROW MOVIE ME GO" (accompanied by a head nod for affirmative sentence)
Remember, ASL gloss represents an approximation of the English sentence structure and word order, with focus on the meaning rather than a literal translation.
