Hello everyone one, there is little thing I can’t able to understand that is why before « quand » we are not using the preposition « à » when the expression have fixed- faire du mal à. After « mal » there should be a preposition. But in that sentence there is not. Why is it. Thank’s in advance.

in this sentence: " J'ai acheté de nouveaux bols et de nouvelles assiettes " why use DE nouveaux bols.......... insteet of DES nouveaux .......
Is it also correct to say:
Elle rappelle à Alain sa sœur

Thanks.
