Inserting -t- after verbs ending in a t sound

Inserting -t- after verbs ending in a t sound

If you use the inverted form, the answer key asks for the extra -t- after s'adapte, so s'adapte-t-il. That looks redundant, since adapte already ends in a t sound. (Inverted questions in the present tense (Le Présent) in French - il/elle/on forms)

 

Is there perhaps a different rule for silent 'e' endings?
