A: Not natural. "Be out to" is not a common phrase, and not a phrase I could easily use in a sentence.

An expression for this situation would be "on the lookout"

The police are on the lookout for any clues left by the criminals.

means

The police are looking for any clues left by the criminals.

Here are more uses:

Be on the lookout for strangers.

or

She was on the lookout for hours.


This phrase is never needed. You can always just use simpler words.

A: 1- The police came to my door.

2- The police man was nice.

A: "A police gave me a speeding ticket" is correct. As he/she is giving you a ticket (he/she can't actually make one. Well.... maybe but it'll be way to long to explain 😂🙏)

Make sure to add 'man' or 'woman' after 'police' so the sentence makes more sense.

-" A police man/woman gave me a speeding ticket"

A: "cop" is more informal. It's like 條子 in Chinese.

A: There isn't too much of a difference, though I think the 2nd one sounds better/more natural.

I'd say that the 1st one is referring to a policeman watching the entire action of a man entering the bank, while the 2nd refers to a policeman who sees a man, who just so happens to be entering a bank. So, I think the 1st one is kinda creepy because the policeman is watching him the entire time while the 2nd one just refers to the man and thus sounds more natural. Though that's just my take on it. Hope this helps!

In English the distinction between one and many things is important.

"Normal" and "abnormal" have strong meanings in English. Especially "abnormal" is used mostly to describe something extremely out of the ordinary.

"Decent" means that the person is a respectable human being, a part of the community who conforms to general moral and ethical standards.
"Indecent" is the opposite, a person without moral and ethical standing.

"Control" mostly means that you make the person do things. You are telling them what to do and they do it.
"Keep under control" is a softer expression that can mean you overlook what others do and regulate them.
