3.2.2. Agreement verbs

Agreement verbs in Spanish Sign Language (LSE) modify their form to show agreement with different arguments (such as the subject, object, or location) based on the verb's meaning. The verb parameters that change to mark agreement include the location where it is produced, the movement path, and the orientation of the palm. These changes indicate the role of each argument in the action. For example, the sign may start in the space assigned to the subject and end at the point associated with the object or location.

In LSE, agreement verbs mark subject, object, and location arguments.
