Abstract: The similarities and contrasts between how mood is expressed in Uzbek and English are examined in this article. Mood is a crucial grammatical characteristic that conveys intention, conviction, doubt, or desire. It is a reflection of the speaker's attitude towards the action or situation that the verb describes. Similarities between the two languages are emphasized by the study, including the employment of auxiliary verbs and common moods like indicative, imperative, and conditional. On the other hand, there are clear disparities in the way that mood is expressed in Uzbek and English verb forms; Uzbek uses particular verb endings to indicate mood, while English mainly relies on auxiliary verbs. Additionally, Uzbek may employ special verb forms or particles for comparable reasons, but English is more likely to use the subjunctive mood when expressing wishes and hypothetical scenarios. The two languages differ in how they convey formality and politeness through mood indicators. Language learners' competency and communication abilities in both Uzbek and English are improved by being aware of these subtleties.
