Well, no....not really. I mean, you're on the right track, as far as leaving out words like "is" and "the" etc, but ASL has what is known as a "topic-comment" structure. The topic goes first, followed by the comment. For example, if you were to say in English, "I go to college," in ASL it would be "College I go, or even "College go me." That's the most basic explanation, but if you want more information, go to aslpro.com - it's a wonderful resource.
