Hello,
Would you please tell me which one is correct?
It is necessary that the issue be addressed

Many thanks.
@cicibebe,
Both are correct, it depends on the context.
@cicibebe,
I'm not sure nowadays.
The first one is in the subjunctive, and I was taught it to be more "correct" but I fear it is used less frequently nowadays.
I'd say the first one is more formal. I prefer it.
