Try to avoid to. usually you can gesture where something was...if you were signing "my dog hid behind me" you could sign "YESTERDAY (or BEFORE) MY DOG HIDE"--gesture behind you--"ME" it depends on how traditional you're learning ASL

American Sign Language does not have a specific grammar structure for prepositions like spoken languages do. Instead, spatial relationships and directions are indicated through the movement and placement of signs in relation to the signer's body or signing space.
