If there were one thing that I’ve ever wanted to achieve in my life, it would be to become at least half the person she is.

Question

So I wrote this sentance but a lot of people say not to end with is. How can I rephrase it. Or is using is at the end of the sentance ok?

Answer 1

You are perfectly correct to end the sentence with is. You could say -- "at least half the person THAT she is" -- but it's not necessary.

The people who object to your wording may be confusing is, a verb, with a preposition like in.

Answer 2

Thanks so much :)

Answer 3

You're welcome.
