question about specifying events in typescript

In this example, why is the element type of the FormEvent specified with this syntax like FormEvent<HTMLFormElement> is this just how it was designed that when you specify the form element of a form event, you place the element type in <> to the right of the event type?

or does this feed into / is consistent with some larger syntax pattern in js/ts/react that I'm not seeing/understanding
