							| Another question on usage 
 |  
							| Not to start another topic I decided to change this one. So my question to anyone who knows for sure: Can first and foremost  be used as an adjectival phrase? E. g. The first and foremost  key to an ideal society is education. Sophia |  30 Oct 2011

							| why? is it bc you speak Am En? See, I know that first and foremost is used as an adverbial phrase, but I was wondering if what I mentioned is possible. If not, could you please help rephrase the sentence? I need it for an essay.  Sophia |  30 Oct 2011
