Abstract
This article presents a comparative analysis of dynamic and stative verbs in English and Uzbek. The study investigates the semantic and grammatical characteristics of these verb categories, emphasizing their similarities and differences across the two languages. Dynamic verbs express actions, events, and processes, whereas stative verbs describe conditions, emotions, possession, perception, and mental states. The research applies a comparative linguistic approach using examples from both languages to demonstrate how each language categorizes and employs these verbs in communication. The findings reveal that although English and Uzbek share many semantic features, they differ in grammatical usage, particularly regarding tense, aspect, and progressive forms. The study contributes to the field of comparative linguistics and provides practical insights for language learners and teachers.References
