Keywords:
modal verbs, English, Uzbek, modality, semantics, syntax, language comparison, translation, grammar, linguistic analysisAbstract
This article examines the similarities and differences between modal verbs in English and Uzbek. Modal verbs play an essential role in expressing ability, necessity, possibility, obligation, and permission. While both languages use modal constructions, their structures, meanings, and usage patterns differ significantly due to linguistic and cultural factors. English modal verbs, such as can, must, may, and should, function independently, whereas Uzbek uses analytical forms and auxiliary verbs to convey modality. The study explores their grammatical features, semantic functions, and contextual usage, highlighting areas of equivalence and divergence. Understanding these differences is crucial for language learners and translators.
