Which are correct?

Hye everyone! Could you please help me by telling ,how should I use "aim" in these sentences?
"I don't know where did she aim at saying that"(is it correct)
"I don't know where did she aim for saying that"
"I dont know what was the aim of her saying that"
I would really appreciate if you give me proper use of this word.Should I use "aim at" and what about after "aim at" infinitive or gerund.Please make it clear for me. I will be very thankful
Thanks!

You don't need to put quotation marks around all your example sentences; focus instead on correct internal punctuation. These are OK: I don't know where she was aiming in saying that . I don ' t know what the aim was of her saying that .
