Action-Result (Ac/Res) vs Conditional (If/Th)
Both Action-Result and Conditional contain the idea of an outcome that results from an action or truth. The difference lies in Conditional stressing the contingent nature of the action or truth (and therefore the contingent nature of the outcome).
Bill parked in front of the fire hydrant and received a ticket. (Action-Result)
If you park in front of a fire hydrant, you will receive a ticket. (Conditional)
