A descendu ou a descendue

Hi Aurélie

I was doing an exercise which has this question:

La valise qu'il ( est descendue, a descendue, a descendu) du grenier hier est neuve.

What will be the correct answer? As my understanding says intransitive verbs take être as auxillary but the answer given is a descendue ( why the accord?)

c'est vs il estIn a writing challenge we had someone describing the new TV they bought: "besides, it's high definition" -> "en plus, elle est haute définition". I'm have from mastered the rules for c'est vs il est, but the one thing I have learned is that when you have a modified noun it's supposed to be "c'est". Yet here we have "haute définition" preceeded by elle est. My best guess is that "haute définition" is to be seen as an expression and should therefore count as an adjective rather than a modified noun ?

"Je parle un peu d'anglais avec lui". Is this sentence correct when 'un peu' is used to modify 'anglais' instead of 'parler'?

Is there any reason or sense behind the rule "Note that for all verbs ending in -ER (including aller), the -s is dropped at the end of the tu form."
