Cultural Tip
The adverb super is informal and widely used in everyday speech, especially by younger people. In a formal email or presentation you would replace it with très, crucial, ou essentiel. Also, c’est is preferred over il est when the adjective follows a noun‑like phrase (c’est important) rather than a bare adjective describing a known subject (il est important).
