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

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.
While 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
