Faire confiance

The quiz asked: How would you tell your friends to have faith? "____ confiance, mes amis!" Have faith, my friends.

I answered "Faites" but it wanted "Ayez". Nearly all lessons here that refer to "confiance" associate it with "faire" - not "avoir". There does not seem to be one specifically on "Have faith". What is the grammar rule here?

to speak + languageYou didn't explain why we can use both forms with "to speak + language." Is it because a language is both a noun and an adjective?

Tout le monde pronunciation

Bonjour, To my beginner's ear, it sounds like in some of the answers the French speaker pronounces each word (tout le monde) distinctly and others the "le" gets glossed over. Am I just not hearing correctly or is there a preference?

Merci!

Use of don't/ de quiIn the following sentence, "La chaise, don't/ de laquelle tu as cassé le pied, est maintenant inutile," I interpreted it to mean whose leg you broke and thus answered don't / de qui and not de laquelle. Why am I wrong?
