    Hi all, first post here!
    Just a quick question, wondering if this sentence is correct?

    "Il faut que on prenne des mesures immédiatement pour résoudre cette problème avant qu'il devienne incontrôlable."

    Is it correct to use the subjunctive here? (I'm trying to say "it is necessary that we take steps immediately to solve this problem before it gets out of control")

    subjunctive is correct, but the phrase is slightly wonky:

    "Il faut que l'on prenne immediatement des mesures pour resoudre ce probleme , avant qu'il ne devienne incontrolable."
