Subject: in the manner thatr
Уважаемые коллеги, напомните, пожалуйста:
После конструкции in the manner that можно поставить просто present simple или нужно использовать would:
he did it in the manner as all important issued would be /are properly addressed.

Это просто пример приблизительный.

Спасибо!

не надо would
in the manner THAT all important issueS are properly addressed +1

а можно и subjunctive (или whatever the hell it's called):
in the manner that all important issues be properly addressed ;)

"in the manner THAT all important issueS are properly addressed"

It doesn't sound quite right to me.

may be:
in such a manner that no important issues were left unattended
OR
he addressed the important issues in the manner that allowed solving them quickly ?

аделàйда, вы бы лучше дали предложение/ситуацию.

"in a manner that... are/be" are both fine. Alhough be has a smoother ring to it, to me. But are is perfectly fine.

\\ "in the1 manner THAT all important issueS are2 properly addressed"
It doesn't sound quite right to me. \\

согласен с двумя поправками к этому варианту:
1 артикль там надо НЕопределенный
2 "are" надо согласовывать по временам с остальным текстом; в примере аскера с "he did it ..." надо "were"
