<div>Hello Valdenir Pinheiro!</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>Thank you for this question.</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>There are two issues ...learning ASL classifiers, and then learning how to write classifiers in SignWriting.</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>Regarding writing classifiers in SignWriting, we add a Classifier Marker, a Tension Symbol, under the classifier. This symbol combined with the handshape let's the reader know that it is a classifier. This is explained on page 184 and 185 in the Lessons
in SignWriting Textbook. See 2 attached diagrams from the book:</div>
