I mean I know whose conjunction is (precedence over sb/sth), am I right ?
if so but I saw some examples Like this :
1-his desire for power soon took precedence over any other consideration
2-a right to preferential treatment I take precedence over you
I'm not good enough in English to understand this please guide me
I was close to forget my another question and it's about "priority"
what this usage too ?

1. We built our home before you got promoted at your last job.
2. The world was created before nations were formed.
These have nothing to do with "take precedence". "precede" or "antedate" is not the same as "take precedence".

I intended to write above sentences in literary form
how could I use those I mean "antedate' and "take precedence over sb/sth" in mentioned statements ?!?!?

19216801how could I use those I mean "antedate' and "take precedence over sb/sth" in mentioned statements ?You can't. That wouldn't make sense. 'antedate' and 'take precedence' have such different meanings that they cannot be combined in your sentences.
