| 9.2.3 Realis - reality |
The Realis is used when reality strikes. The probability that the condition set will materialise is quite high or better is considered high by the one speaking.

In English both sentences are in indicativo (the reality mode), using the present tense or the future. In Spanish both sentences are in present indicativo. They just simply state a fact using the si to indicate that there is a slight uncertainty. Still, this uncertainty is not big enough to use subjuntivo and condicional.
