Hello everyone,
I was studying when i came across this sentence.
*"She became a doctor, as HAD her mother before her."
The teacher who said this sentence is a native speaker of English, so I believe it is correct, but what i would really like to know is why she used "had" here.
Thanks in advance :)

Thanks josef sir
She became a doctor, as HAD her mother before her.
Sometimes is best not to overthink things. Of course it means:
She became a doctor, in the same way as her mother had become a doctor before her.
Or go and look at the past perfect:
