Thanks,

Can I say:

Life, Love and Family are the most important to me.

or it should be

Life, Love and Family are the most important things to me.

?


I am making logo for my friend and I want it to be clear, short and correct.

THANKS

You can say;

Life, love & family are much important TO me.

(But it would sould like a staged theatre act from the mid 19th century.) Modern English, has altered somewhat, from the centuries following our french invasion. But, it isn't entirely incorrect.

As, I also speak a few latin based "Romance" languages (French, Spanish, Portuguese), I can see how the language has evolved to what it has become now.

Also,

"Important for me", should generally be used in plural forms and with a direction or transitive, i.e.

The buses are really important for me to get to work.

When being definate and non-transitive use "to", i.e. This exam, is really important to me.

Hope that helps.

You can say "It's important for me to get to work on time if I want to keep my job." There's a little bit of a semantic difference between using "to" and "for" -- it's not that one is always right and the other always wrong, just that they change the meaning slightly.

"Much" is an adjective, and thus should only be used to modify nouns. "Very" is an adverb, and thus can be used to modify adjectives such as "important". "Most" is more complicated, but "Life, Love and Family are the most important to me." is not grammatically correct. "Life, Love and Family are the most important things to me." is grammatically correct, but is a bit awkward.
