Ahead

To sign ahead, begin by making fists with both hands and bringing them together, fist to fist, with thumbs sticking up. Then keep your non-dominant fist in place as your dominant fist moves away, in a half-circular motion, ending up ahead of the other hand by a foot or so. It's like one car overtaking another one on the road and getting ahead.

This is a useful flash card taught best in conjunction with other prepositions of time and location, in preparation for a trip with family, or an activity with friends or classmates. Context is always the best teacher, and the flash cards are only supplementary.
