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

"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.

If I had known you wouldn't be here anymore, I would've made the moments last a little longer. 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."
