If you are hungry, we can order something to eat

I am a little bit shocked now. Could you take a look at this?

1) If you are hungry, we can order something to eat. (This question is about a current state?)

2) If he comes later, I will talk to him. (This is about a future happening?)

Is this correct? Thank you so much as usual and have a good day.


P.S "If I am proven rude, I will apologize to you." (This is about a current state or a future happening, you think?)

Thank you so much and I hope to hear from you again. Thank you.

"If I am proven rude, I will apologize to you." (This is about a current state or a future happening, you think?) It could be about a past or present event of rudeness; the hypothetical apology is in the future.
