"Gave you money"

If you have the time and energy I would like you to read what I am going send to you.

I feel this sentence is incorrect, is it?

What if he gave you money when you meet him?

Is this sentence correct?

In the above sentences I am talking about future. "Gave you money" is second form of verb, I am confused.

The first sentence is present simple and second one is past simple. Am I right?

No, that one is fine. (With the correction.)

Both of my suggestions in post #2 could be used to refer to the future as part of a longer dialogue. I realise that might be confusing to learners!

If you were talking about something that happened in the past (the meeting) but also something that didn't happen during that meeting (no money was handed over), you would say "What if he had given you money when you met him?"

I think your question applied to the sentence above it. If so, your intuition is correct. Note my corrections above. The comma is optional but the to​ is not.

The past simple in #2 to indicates a lower possibility than the present simple in #1. He is less likely to give you money in #2 than in #1.

They are called the the first and second conditionals respectively.
