SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ENGLISH AND UZBEK GRAMMAR: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

Аннотация

This article presents a comparative study of the grammatical structures of English and Uzbek, focusing on both the similarities and differences between the two languages. While English is an analytic language and Uzbek is an agglutinative one, both possess well-defined systems for expressing tense, aspect, mood, and syntactic relationships. The study explores core grammatical categories such as word order, verb conjugation, noun case systems, the use of articles, prepositions versus postpositions, and sentence structure. Particular attention is given to the pedagogical implications of these differences for Uzbek students learning English as a foreign language. Understanding the contrasts and overlaps between the two grammars can help improveteaching methodologies and facilitatemore effective language acquisition.
