To have patience/to be patient

So one can say: Il fait que tu aies de la patience and Il fait que tu sois patient - yes? Both are grammatically correct in English? You must have patience / You must be patient. One being a noun the other an adverb.

This question relates to:French lesson "Il faut que + the subjunctive mood (Le Subjonctif) in French"

Chris W.C1 Kwiziq Q&A super contributor Correct answer

In French, both sentences are correct (if you change the spelling from fait to faut), just as in English.

Il faut que tu aies de la patience. -- You have to have patience.
Il faut que tu sois patient. -- You must be patient.
