Annotation: This article analyzes the structural differences in sentence
construction among Uzbek, Russian, and English. It discusses the syntactic roles of
sentence constituents, the order of elements, morphological markers, tense and aspect
systems, and pragmatic nuances such as emphasis and intonation. The analysis is based
on contrastive linguistic methods and explores how these languages utilize grammar
and structure to express meaning. This comparative study aims to support theoretical
linguistics and second language acquisition, especially for learners and educators
working across these three linguistic systems.
