He, who lives in...?
Have you ever used 'He, who lives in the USA is Tom'? I think this sentence sounds odd and structure is not acceptable and "Tom, who lives in the USA is my friend' is better and proper nouns like Tom. the USA ,etc are better to be in front of non-defining relative pronouns. What do you teachers think? Thank you so much as usual and I hope to hear from you again.
