de or les

I saw "Il a fait les mêmes choix." in the exercise.

Here mêmes is before the noun and choix is plural. Why we don’t use de in this situation? Thank you.

This question relates to:French lesson ""Des" becomes " de/d' " in front of adjectives preceding nouns (French Partitive Articles)"

Hi Zijun,

The definite article 'les' (the) bears no relation to the partitive 'des' (meaning some/any).

Please take a look at the following lessons -

Using le, la, l', les before nouns when generalising (definite articles)

Du/de la/de l'/des = Some/any (French Partitive Articles)

Hope these help!
