How it works
Cause. chunki stands mid-sentence after a comma and introduces the cause: "Kechikdim, chunki avtobus kechikdi" — I was late, because the bus was late. Its mirror is shuning uchun: it introduces the consequence, and the two halves swap places.
Purpose. Purpose is built with the tail "-ish uchun". The verb turns into a noun, and uchun — "for the sake of" — drags it along. oʻqish uchun keldim — I came in order to study.
Time. "After" is the link "-ganidan keyin": non yeganidan keyin — after having eaten. "Before" is "-ishidan oldin": kelishidan oldin — before he comes. Neither carries a future tense.
Concession. garchi opens the concession, and the word ham or a plain second half closes it: garchi yoʻl uzoq, biz bordik. The comma always splits the halves.

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.
