Chris W.C1 Kwiziq Q&A super contributor Correct answer

Tu reçois des amis à dîner. -- You receive some friends for dinner. Here it is a not more closely determined set of friends that come to dinner.

Ces docteurs reçoivent les patients. -- These doctors receive the patients. This sentence speaks of specific patients.

And ces docteurs reçoivent les patients.

Why with the above two sentences is one using “des” and the other using “Les”?
