This thesis examines the grammatical categories of verbs in English and Uzbek from a comparative linguistic perspective. Verbs are one of the central parts of speech in both languages because they express action, state, process, and relation. However, English and Uzbek differ significantly in the way verbal meanings are formed and expressed. English mainly uses analytical forms, auxiliary verbs, and word order, while Uzbek relies more on synthetic forms, affixation, and agglutinative structures. The study focuses on the categories of tense, aspect, mood, voice, person, number, and negation, highlighting similarities and differences between the two languages.
