Grammar "most want"
Hi, there
Which of THESE sentences is right?
For example, should you say "This is the phone I most wanted my mother to buy me" or "This is the phone I most wanted for my mother to buy me" or This is the phone I most wanted to have my mother buy me"?
Thank you!

I believe you could say #1 but I would say ..
“this is the phone I wanted my Mom to buy me the most.” Maybe not grammatically correct but natural for me to say.

What about the third one?

#1 is correct and natural. #2 is perhaps incorrect because "wanted for" is odd.
