excess part of sentence that make it more complicated

"She is not the girl that her mother wanted to be."

Yes, me too though I don't think it expresses the intended meaning. It says that Mom herself wishes she had been a better person and that she wishes the same for her daughter

Perhaps so Ahmed but it's widely collo

Help Frank, Con, Mac, S., Ed, Rog, Dj….

What does the sentence mean, when "her to be" is added to this sentence? It removes one of Mom's wishes; see my first above

Different meanings here:

"She is not the girl that her mother wanted to be."

Her mother always wanted to be a nurse, but the girl became a doctor. So she did not become like what her mother wished for herself.

"She is not the girl that her mother wanted her to be."

The girl is a doctor. The mother wanted her to be a nurse. So she did not become what her mother wanted her to be.

Well executed, Punk

Dear PUNKEY, you are really great.

Thanks a lot.

Quite welcome Ahmed
