Typological category of person
The category of person should be addressed in tandem with the category of number (plurality). Since in the languages of Indo-European family all categories are conveyed by one and the same morpheme concurrently, i.e. a morpheme expressing number at the same time represents person as well. In Roman, for example, the morpheme -nt indicates both the third person and the plural number in forms such as amant, habent, legunt, amabant, habebunt, and so on.
The category of person is a distinguishing property of pronouns and verbs in comparing languages. They (languages) distinguish three kinds of personal pronouns, designating the person(s) speaking (first person), the person(s) addressed to (second person), and the person(s) (or objects) spoken about (third person).
Aspect is a type of verb that indicates whether the activity described is a continual action or one that occurs always, frequently, or only once. In other words, it is a form of the verb that expresses how the action is carried out, i.e. whether it is a single completed action (or point), a recurring action, or a continuous process. Aspect may also be defined as a verbal form that expresses habituality, continuation, or completeness of the action or situation conveyed by the root of the verb. Aspect is rarely treated as a separate category of the verb in Uzbek grammars since it is not often articulated as clearly as it appears due to the lack of analytical forms.
The notions of tense and aspect are so intertwined in the comparative languages that they cannot be treated individually. Because one and the same form of the verb expresses tense and aspect at the same time, they should be considered 'tense-aspect forms' of the verb.
We differentiate three features of verb forms when comparing languages: simple (common or indefinite), continuous, and perfect. When all of the tense forms of the verb are combined, they constitute the so-called "tense aspect forms of the verb."
