Faites or faisez

I was marked wrong on this one. Vous faisez la queue seems correct. Not understanding why it would be vous faites la queue? Thank you.

Placement of y in a sentence using futur procheI thought there was a rule that "y" should come before the verb (including auxiliary verb). There seems to be an exception when using the futur proche? For example: Je vais y reflechir rather than J'y vais reflechir.

Pronunciation of M. & Mme?

In "M. Dupont et Mme Vichy vont au bureau." above, it sounds like M. is just being pronounced as the letter M and not as monsieur but Mme is pronounced as madame. Is that really how this would be said aloud? Also, is it correct that the M. has a period to denote abbreviation but the Mme does not? Is there a rule to help explain this?

Leur vs LeursJ'écrirai à mes cousines. Je leur écrirai bientôt.I

As "cousines" is plural, is there a reason for saying leur instead of leurs?

Perhaps I have misunderstood the rule.
