💡

The 'Will' Ban

Never use 'ću, ćeš, će' in the same clause as 'ako'. It's the #1 mistake learners make!

💡

The Comma Rule

If the sentence starts with 'Ako' or 'Kada', you MUST put a comma before the second part. If the 'Ako/Kada' is in the middle, no comma!

💡

The Comma Rule

Always place a comma after the conditional clause. It helps the reader breathe and separates the condition from the result.

Review Summary

  • Ako + Present, Future

常见错误

In Croatian, you cannot use the future tense after 'ako'. You must use the present.

Wrong: Ako ću imati vremena, doći ću.
正确: Ako imam vremena, doći ću.

Use 'ako' for conditions (if) and 'kada' for specific times (when).

Wrong: Kada bude lijepo, ići ću van.
正确: Ako bude lijepo, ići ću van.

The main clause needs the future tense to show the outcome of the condition.

Wrong: Ako imam novaca ja kupim auto.
正确: Ako imam novaca, kupit ću auto.
