A: I don’t know whether the police was looking for the killer or not. but I did see the police helicopter hovering over the crime scene. It would be nice if the police had been looking for the killer.
b: I don’t know if she knows the mystery of the river. It would be great if she knew.
These sentences might sound weird but I just would like to know if they are correct with the use of would and the use of if-clauses. Please check if they are used correctly.
