Question on a non-defining relative clause.
Hi teachers,
How do I know that from these two sentences, 'Jane is living in Japan now. Jane got divorced last year.'
The resulting one including a non-defining relative clause is this one, 'Jane, who got divorced last year, is living in Japan now.', and not this one, 'Jane, who is living in Japan now, got divorced last year.'
Aren't both of them possible? I guess, it just depends on the additional but non-essential information about the noun I wish to give, doesn't it? Am I right?
Thanks in advance.
