How does one join a noun and a verb? Example:

友達に行かせるのは初めて **で** 最後にするわ - This is the first and last time I will let my
friend force me to go

I used で to join the noun 初めて and 最後 in the example above, but it doesn't
sound too right because で is used to join nouns only. Question is, what is the
correct word to use here?

How to join a noun and a verb
初めてで最後 may be grammatical but doesn't make much sense to me. The expression
you need is **最初で最後**.

  * [ALC: 最初で最後](https://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=%E6%9C%80%E5%88%9D%E3%81%A7%E6%9C%80%E5%BE%8C&ref=sa)

> ～するのは最初で最後にする。  
>  I'll make this the first and last time I ～.

(But judging form the English version, you probably wanted to use causative-
**passive** 友達に行かせられるのは / 友達に行かされるのは.)
