This peer-reviewed article illustrates the comparative analysis of cases in both: English and Kazakh languages. Moreover, to expand the containing information about Kazakh language, we use Turkish, in order to compare Turkic Languages and see the interesting similarities. Since, Kazakh is agglutinative language(which mean that it uses affixes); it has a broader number of case system, while English is analytic language(which states for the use of auxiliary verbs, word order, prepositions); it uses syntax to distinguish case differences. Via descriptivism and contrastivism, we analyze morpho-syntactic behaviour of case in two languages. The results show that Kazakh describes grammatical relationships through morphological case suffixes, which allows flexible word order, while English applies fixed and specific word order/prepositions. This contrast not only highlights typological differences, but also provides an opportunity and information for learning a second language, studying language translation and the theory of morphosyntax. Moreover, this study highlights the influence of information structure and discursive context on case distribution, especially in the Kazakh language.
