Hi all

This is a pretty trivial question but are they both grammatical and natural?  '...the town where she is now living' and '...the town where she is living now'



Thanks

Success - it is not the position where you are standing, but which direction you are going.

They both look fine to me although if ending the sentence with it, then I would probably use 'living now', ie "I have no idea where she is living now." If continuing the sentence then I would probably use 'now living' - "the town where she is now living has a really bad reputation".
