Bonjour Jenny !
In the case of inverted questions, you add the "t" for pronunciation reasons, whenever there are two vowel sounds clashing.
This is explained in the related lesson:
Inverted questions in the present tense (Le Présent) in French - il/elle/on forms
However, thanks to you, I've now updated this lesson, by adding links to other lessons, as well as adding this explanation to it :)
I hope that's helpful!
Merci et à bientôt !
