Faloir is the French verb that means “to be necessary.” We use the third person singular conjugation Il faut as the impersonal, standard expression for the expression. Following the expression comes an infinitive to say altogether “it is necessary to do something.”
Examples:
Il faut lire (read) le journal le matin.
It is necessary to read the newspaper every morning.
Il faut organiser les dossiers pour le travail.
It is necessary to organize the folders for work.
Il faut faire un stage avant (before) on pose sa candidature.
It is necessary to have work experience before one applies for a job.
