ABSTRACT
In this article, the use of modal verbs in Uzbek and English is analyzed on the basis of their presentation in school
textbooks. Important aspects of modal verbs in two languages are compared and discussed with exercises and
examples based on the texts given in the textbooks. Also, the influence of modal verbs on the meaning of the
sentence and the specific characteristics of modal verbs are explained based on examples. Analysis, comparison,
comparison, proof methods were used in the work.
KEYWORDS
Modal word, infinitive form, meaning forms, objective, Must, can, could.
INTRODUCTION
Modality is the main feature of the sentence, an
important part of the content of the sentence. In
linguistics, modality usually means the relationship of
the content of the sentence to the objective entity and
the relationship of the speaker to the content of the
sentence. This modality is mainly divided into 2 groups.
- Lens,
- subjective modality.
Objective modality is expressed at the level of syntactic
division of the sentence. Subjective modality
represents the attitude of the speaker to the objective
content expressed in the sentence and is included in
the mode. Subjective modality is expressed in memory
of a special modal word or other words in modal
function [1, B. 37].
METHODOLOGY
The Uzbek language has separate word groups, such
as independent words and auxiliary words. They do not

enter into a grammatical relationship with parts of
speech. They are only the speaker's belief, suspicion,
confirmation of the expressed opinion. it means
feelings like pity, joy. Such words are considered modal
words. A comma is always placed after them [2, B. 103].
For example, words such as certainly, without a doubt,
without a doubt, as a result, in fact, first of all,
probably, approximately, in general are included.
"Modal words have morphological, syntactic and
semantic signs, like other groups of words. If their
invariance is considered a morphological sign, it is a
syntactic function to act as an introductory word. The
semantic sign of modal words is a modal meaning such
as certainty, assumption means names" [3, B. 132].
Uzbek linguistics have different views on the
classification of modal words. For example: Q. Sapayev
divides them into different groups.
1. Modal words confirming the accuracy and truth of
the thought expressed in the sentence: without a
doubt, without a word, without a doubt, really, really,
etc.
2. Modal words indicating that the thought expressed
in the sentence is tentative, uncertain : perhaps,
apparently, apparently, apparently, hoytovur, chogi.
3.Modal words expressing regret, surprise, etc. from
an event: unfortunately, like attang wonder
4. Modal words that indicate the relationship and order
of thought: so, in particular, for example, on the
contrary, including, so, therefore, therefore, first of all
as [4, B. 266].
Shavkat Rahmatullayev's definition of modal words is
as follows: The 3rd person morpheme in the
comparison paradigm is different from the 1st and 2nd
person morphemes in terms of expressing the
meaning of number (quantity): 1st and 2nd person
morphemes have both person and number meanings
at the same time. represents the noun, the morphemes
of these individuals form an opposition (contradiction)
in terms of expressing the meaning of number; such a
conflict is absent in the 3rd person morpheme, so it is
neutral in terms of expressing the meaning of number.
The part -lar in the affix of what is referred to as the
plural form of the third person serves to express not
the meaning of "plural", but the modal meaning ("to
make"), the expression of the meaning of number
remains neutral [3, B. 136 ]. In the "mother tongue"
textbook for the 7th grade, modal words are
interpreted as follows.
1. Confidence: of course, without doubt
2. Suspicion: perhaps, probably, apparently.
3. Affirmation: indeed, truly.
4. Summing up the idea: in summary, therefore, in
general.
5. Order of thought: first, first.
6. Proof of opinion: for example, including.
7. Place: happiness [2, B. 104].
DISCUSSION AND RESULT
Modal words in dialogic speeches express the attitude
to the previously expressed idea and act as a sentence.
For example: "Piloting is more difficult than our work,
isn't it? - Of course" (Oydin)[4, B. 267]. In the Uzbek
language, modality is expressed using auxiliary verbs in
addition to words. They have basically lost their
independent meaning and are used as auxiliary verbs
such as start, take, send, stand, leave, which indicate
the stages (beginning, continuation, completion) and
style (speed, possibility) of the action understood from
the base. includes [2, P. 59]. For example: As soon as
Unsin crossed the threshold, he gathered his burqa,
ran to meet Zumrad and hugged him.
- Omarali got up and went out. As in Uzbek, English also
has modality. They are found in both word and verb

forms. Modal words are not studied as separate words.
Modal words in English express the attitude of the
speaker to the thought being expressed, just like in
Uzbek. Some of the modal words in English are studied
in conjunction. For example: well-well.
-Well, shall we go for a walk after our classes today?
Modal words in English are mainly considered as
sentence starters. In English, there are the following
modal words:
Of course, maybe, for instance, well, well, at least.
In addition, there are several types of modality in
English. Such as inherent (special), objective (goal),
epistemic
objective,
deontic
objective,
epistemological, subjective, evidential modality. There
are verbs that increase modality. Modal verbs in
English are mainly used when talking about certainty,
assumption, ability, when asking for permission,
permission,
when
expressing
requests
and
suggestions [8, P. 35].
English has the following modal verbs: Must, can,
could, can't be, have to, should, may, might, ought to,
will. Probability: It's snowing, so it must be very cold
outside. Probably: It's snowing, so it must be cold
outside. Ability: I can speak six languages.
Ability: I can speak six languages. Obligation and
advice: You should stop smoking. Obligation and
advice: You must stop smoking.
Permission: Could I leave early today, please?
Asking permission: May I leave earlier today, please?
Habits: John will always be late!
Habits: John is always late.
Modal verbs in English are a small group of auxiliary
verbs that are often used to express modality. They are
distinguished from other verbs by their imperfection,
and it is known that modal verbs do not take the suffix
III - person singular - ( e ) s. The main English modal
verbs are can, could, may, might, will, would, shall, and
should. Of course, other verbs are sometimes, but not
always, classified as modals; they are: ought to, had
better, used to, have to dare and need. Verbs do not
share the characteristics of all main modal verbs and
are sometimes called "semi modals". Below are the
rules for using semi-modals with examples. Ought to +
V represents a moral duty or advice in the present and
future. He ought to help his friend.
Ought to + have + PP belongs to the past tense and is
used in the sense of reprimand and rebuke when a
person does not fulfill his duty or behaves
inappropriately: You ought to have done it yesterday.
Interrogative of the modal verb ought form ought is
formed by removing the possessive from the modal
verb: Ought I to go? The infinitive form of the modal
verb ought to is always formed using the negative
preposition not: I ought not to go. The modal verb
ought to always requires to after it. The modal verb
need can be used both as a modal verb and as a non-
modal proper verb in modern English. This modal verb
means "necessary". It is mainly used in interrogative
and negative sentences. Need + V means the need to
perform an action, and it is translated as "need". This
modal verb is used only in the interrogative and
infinitive forms of the Simple Present. Need he come
here? You needn't come so early. At this point, we
should mention that in the participle answer of
interrogative sentences that start with need, the
answer is with must.
Need I go there at once? Yes, You must. On the
contrary, a question that starts with must is answered
with needn't in the undivided answer of sentences. -
Must I go there at once? - No, you don't need. Need not
+ have + PP is used when the action happened in the
past tense, but there is no need to do the action. You

needn't have come so early. The verb need can also be
a main verb, and it is translated as need, and is used in
the present, past and future tenses like other main
verbs. You need a long rest. We needed the dictionary
badly. I'll need your advice. If the verb need is the main
verb and comes after the possessive, then the infinitive
to is used. Live has + need + to + V My friend needs to
learn Spanish. If need follows a live possessor as the
main verb, then either the gerund or the passive
infinitive is used. Inanimate have + need + V ing. The
modal verb need can also be used as a noun. But one
has no need of a reason for that. There was no need for
words.
From the above information, it is known that English
and Uzbek modal verbs are similar to each other in
certain aspects, and of course, there are also
differences. In them linguocognitiveness while that's it

" in a sense is coming
CONCLUSION
In short, in Uzbek and English, modality is the relation
of the content of the sentence to the objective
existence and the relation of the speaker to the
content of the sentence. From the above information,
it is known that English and Uzbek modal verbs are
similar to each other in certain aspects, and of course,
there are also differences. Modality has been
extensively studied in both languages, and it is
undoubtedly beneficial to study the content of
modality, its morphological and syntactic features in
both languages.
