Move from a reason to what follows from it.

How It Works

اس refers back to the relevant circumstance. It can point to a previous sentence, so both parts do not have to be written as one long sentence.

The result clause keeps its own subject, tense and agreement. اس لیے does not impose a particular verb form.

Keep کیونکہ with the reason and اس لیے with the result. The connector tells you which part of the explanation follows.

بارش ہو رہی ہے، اس لیے ہم اندر رہیں گے۔
It is raining, so we will stay inside.
The second clause is a decision based on the rain.
راستہ لمبا تھا، اس لیے ہم جلد نکلے۔
The route was long, so we left early.
The result is a past action.
بتی بند ہے، اس لیے کمرہ تاریک ہے۔
The light is off, so the room is dark.
A state is presented as the consequence.
مجھے پیاس لگی ہے، اس لیے میں پانی پیوں گا۔
I am thirsty, so I will drink water.
An experience provides the motive for a future action.
