Please explain using des/de in "on saura qu’il y a des reines autant qu’il y a de femmes"In the phrase "on saura qu’il y a des reines autant qu’il y a de femmes", why do we say "des reines", but "de femmes" (why not "des femmes")?

with plurals, de becomes des.....Why isn't it "Nous ne faisons pas partie DES amis" as "ses amis" is plural? But then I guess that would apply to "de les amis", so what's going on here?

Bangs adjectives

I don't want to sound dumb, but are the adjectives you are using (excellent, magnifique) BAGS adjectives? Because I see you place them in front of the verb, when only BAGS adjectives do that, and I previously thought the only BAGS adjectives in the 'goodness' section were 'mauvais(e), bon(ne), meilleur(e), and gentil(le).' Thanks, May.
