      I'm wondering the same thing. "Es ist nötig" should be accepted.

        Why "das ist notwendig" is wrong

          es=it, das=this/that

            "Notwendig" is a synonymous for "erforderlich", necessary to achieve something. "Nötig" is "unbedingt erforderlich", essential (for life).

              Is "Es ist wesentlich" wrong? I thought "wesentlich" and "notwendig" were synonyms...?

                Why not "Er ist notwendig"? or "Sie ist notwendig"? If I know the gender of the subject, wouldn't I know the correct pronoun too? Reported.
