This article examines the comparative structure of simple sentences in English and Uzbek, with a particular focus on how new model of universal grammar principles, represented by the equation (SpNs = GN), can inform the teaching of these languages. By analyzing sentences such as "I saw a dog barking," this study aims to demonstrate how the general notion (GN) and specific sentence elements (SpNs) function in both English and Uzbek, offering insights into their respective syntactic and grammatical features. The application of this model in language teaching is also discussed, highlighting how understanding sentence structures in both languages can improve teaching methods and foster better comprehension for language learners. The article explores the significance of cross-linguistic comparison and offers practical pedagogical approaches for educators.
