Hello guys, is this sentence grammatically ok ?
"If I would have known that you wouldn't be here anymore
I would have made the moments last a little longer"
I would probably use " if I had known" or ?

"If I had known" is good

As others have said, I'd go with "If I had known..." but I'd take it one step further and use a contraction. "If I'd known you wouldn't be here anymore..." That sounds more natural.

Or
If I knew you wouldn't be here anymore, I would've made the moments last a little bit longer.

Yes, that is correct: "If I had known that you wouldn't be here anymore, then I would have made the moments last a little longer."
