Keywords:
primary auxiliary verbs, modal verbs, modality, synthetic and analytical modal forms, syncretism, polyfunctionalityAbstract
This article discusses about the issues on auxiliary verbs in agglutinative and inflectional languages. In particular, the syncretic nature of modal verbs in English and auxiliary verbs in Uzbek is highlighted, and their polyfunctional properties are analysed using the example of the verbs can and could, bil and ol. The Uzbek language, which belongs to agglutinative languages, does not have a group of modal verbs. In a number of sources it is noted that non-categorical forms of the verb are divided into two types, the first group includes functional forms of the verb, and the second group includes modal forms of the verb.
