Grammar

have priority

Hello!
I'm wondering if it is the correct to say in a situation when we have many tasks and need to prioritize them.

"This has the first priority, and this has the second priority, and this has the last priority."?

If not, how can I rephrase it? Can we use "is" instead of "has"?

Thank you in advance!

IMG This has the first priority, and this has the second priority, and this has the last priority. That's fine; use that.

You can also use "top priority" and "lowest priority."

Both 'has' and 'takes' are used with 'priority', less often 'is'. You can also 'make (something) your first priority' or 'give priority (to something or someone)'.

Thank you. With first priority everything's clear. But what about second priority?

The grammar is the same. Just say 'second' instead of 'first'.
