Subjunctive after Impersonal Expressions
Il faut que, il est important/nécessaire/possible/dommage que + subjunctive: an impersonal il frames the clause as a judgment of necessity, possibility, or value. Expressions asserting probability or fact — il est probable que, il est certain que, il est clair que — take the indicative instead, making the probable/possible line the key discrimination.
