if present tense is used for historical events, why use ‘La Fontaine est né’ and not ‘La Fontaine naît’?

C'est la rue la plus petite dans la ville. It's a specific road in a specific town so why is dans wrong? Just as it's not wrong in il y a une boulangerie dans la ville? (Your example)

Hi, should hacher be spelt as hâcher? I did this exercise - https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/my-languages/french/tests/results/11294497/system - and got it wrong.

'Seizième siècle'? mais non - dix-septième !

Why does the hint say "Note that with avoir as an auxiliary, past participles never agree with the subject of the verb?

I recently went over the lesson on cases in which the participles do agree, so maybe it should say "almost never"?

Special cases when the past participle agrees (in number & gender) when used with 'avoir' in the compound past in French (Le Passé Composé)

Is "râper" really pronounced to rhyme with "cher"? Because that's the pronunciation given when you click on the speaker button in the "Cooking / Faire la cuisine (v)" vocabulary list at https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/learn/theme/1513111

Which is correct - un lave-vaisselle or une machine à laver la vaisselle?

Nous t'en ferons une

Nous te la ferons.

Which one is right?

Can anyone please clarify? Thanks in advance.
