Questions & Answers about Kad budemo imali više vremena, napravit ćemo i kobasice za zimu.

Why is it kad budemo imali and not kad ćemo imati?

Because Croatian normally uses the future II in subordinate clauses introduced by words like kad (when), ako (if), čim (as soon as), etc. when the whole sentence refers to the future.

So the pattern is:

• subordinate clause: kad budemo imali više vremena
• main clause: napravit ćemo i kobasice za zimu

In other words:

• budemo imali = future II
• napravit ćemo = future I

A native English speaker expects future in both clauses, but Croatian often does not do that in this structure.

Informally, you may sometimes hear kad ćemo imati, but the sentence you were given is the standard and better model to learn.
