This article proposes a system of exercises designed to strengthen learners' understanding and use of words expressing modality and their alternatives in the Uzbek language. Modality refers to the speaker's attitude or judgment regarding the likelihood, necessity, obligation, permission, or possibility of an event or action. Mastering modal expressions is crucial for conveying a speaker's intent and achieving effective communication in Uzbek. The proposed exercises target various learning styles and proficiency levels, incorporating translation tasks, sentence completion, dialogue creation, and error identification activities.
