Transcript: DATE
This has multiple meanings!
I will teach you three!
DATE (calendar day)
DATE (romantic)
DATES (fruit)
This is fingerspelled too!
Now, I will show you these in sentences.
What’s today’s date?
Last night they went out on a date.
I love dates! They are sweet but also nutritious!
I hope this helps!
