Grammar
Which I know it won't be
Which are correct:
1) I will be happy in my own house, even if it is a garbage can, which I know it won't be.
2) I will be happy living with Jane, even if it is in a garbage can, which I know it won't be.
3) I will be happy living with Jane, even if it is in a garbage can, which I know won't be the case.
I think '2' is incorrect. It seems to me that people say that kind of thing, but in it, 'which' seems to be referring back to 'IN a garbage can' and I don't think that is technically correct.
Gratefully,
Navi.
