Adjectives ending in -er become -ère in the feminine

Question

This question referring to visitors either visitreurs or visiteuses has a reference to adjectives ending in "er" becoming "ere" in the feminine. Could you lease explain how this is relevant? I'm really missing something here.

Regards,

Neil

Bonjour Neil,
I am guessing you are referring to the following question: 
Which of the statements is correct:  «Il y a des visiteurs étrangers à l’hôtel», «Il y a des visiteuses étrangères à l’hôtel»  -> both are correct
The adjectives are "étrangers" and "étrangères" -> singular form "étranger" / "étrangère". This is relevant because it shows how French adjectives ending in -er in the masculine form change to -ère in the feminine form as per the lesson content. 
Whilst the noun "un visiteur" (masculine form) becomes "une visiteuse" (feminine form). Other nouns following the same pattern are: un voyageur (= a traveller) - un voltigeur (= an acrobat)- un voleur (= a thief) ...
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !

Hi Neil,Perhaps I'm not understanding your point?If you believe that there is an error then this should be directed to the Help Desk rather than the Language Forum. Bonne continuation.Jim
