MASCULINE AND FEMININE adjectives - ending in "er" or "et"
ADJECTIVES 01 explained how adjectives in French need to *agree* with the masculine or feminine nouns they describe.
Sometimes adjectives end in -er or -et and add a *grave accent* on the e-before-the-last-character as well as an "e" right-at-the-end. The 's' for plural gets added to either the masculine or the feminine form, as appropriate.
