Their need(s) + the most

Hi,

Background:
Mr. A needs an apple.
Mr. B needs an orange.

Can I say:
Sentence1:

Their needs were the most important?
Sentence2:

Customers' needs were the most important?

If not, how can I link "needs" and "most important" in 1 sentence?

Thanks

Hi uktous. I think both sentence 1 and sentence can be used this way. They are all correct.

Thanks,

I would like to ask the question above, because someone told me that it is grammatically incorrect to say "were the most".

Any idea?

Were you told it was incorrect in that exact sentence?

Was the person suggesting that only ONE of anything could be "the most"?

Hi,

He just told me

The following corrected sentence is correct:

"Their needs were most important."

hi, uktous.

I find an English title which goes as follows.

The Most Important Emotional Needs

so it's correct to say Their needs were the most important.
