Conditionals are statements with if or unless. They are opinions about the conditions (circumstances) that influence results, and opinions about results.
There are two kinds of conditionals. In most grammar books, they are called real or factual conditionals and unreal  or contrary-to-fact conditionals. Factual conditionals express absolute, scientific facts, probable results, or possible results. Contrary –to- fact conditionals express improbable or impossible results.
A.         Factual conditionals – Absolute, scientific Results
Remember that absolute conditionals express scientific facts. Will and a verb word expresses the opinion that the results is absolutely certain.
Pattern: If + S + Verb (present) + s + Verb (present)
CONDITION

If + S + Verb (present)
s + Verb (present)
