Des becomes de/d' before adjectives preceding the nouns

Question

Hello, in the first example mentioned"I saw magnificent places"The answer in french is "J'ai vu des endroits magnifiques."Why is it "des" here instead of d'endroits ??

Accepted Answer

Bonjour Sayli,
The noun "endroit" is used here in the plural -- endroits, but the adjective magnifique is after the noun.
So what we have here is the indefinite article des being used in front of the plural noun therefore des endroits magnifiques.
