LingoflyThe future: -ajak
The verb stands at the end of the sentence, and the tense hangs straight on it. For the future there is the tail -ajak: the stem bor- plus -ajak plus the person — borajakman, I will go. One tail carries both the tense and the doer. For example: “Ertaga Samarqandga borajakman” — Tomorrow I will go to Samarkand. A rule from the Uzbek course: worked out on examples, not memorized as a wording.
How it works
The verb stands at the end of the sentence, and the tense hangs straight on it. For the future there is the tail -ajak: the stem bor- plus -ajak plus the person — borajakman, I will go. One tail carries both the tense and the doer.
Only the end changes with the person: -man — I, -san — you; the third person has no tail at all — just borajak, he will go. The plural keeps the same scheme: -miz — we, -siz — you; for them the piece is -lar: borajaklar.
There is a shorter way too: ertaga boraman — tomorrow I go. The -aman form also points at the future when a day stands beside it. But -ajak is firmer: the decision has been made and it is said plainly.
The question hangs at the end: borajakmisiz? — will you go? One word is a whole question, and the word order does not move.

How the rule settles in your head
A rule is not memorized from an explanation. It is memorized from an attempt to use it and a mistake — that is why the app delivers it mixed in with words, not as a separate lesson: it resurfaces exactly where you forgot it.
