This paper presents a comparative analysis of the grammatical structures of English and Uzbek, focusing on morphological and syntactic features. As languages from distinct families—English belonging to the Germanic branch of the Indo-European family and Uzbek to the Turkic language family—they offer rich grounds for comparison. The study highlights key similarities and differences in word formation, sentence structure, verb systems, and the expression of tense, modality, and possession. Understanding these contrasts can aid language learners, linguists, and translators in navigating both languages more effectively.
