    The article "des" directly in front of an adjective becomes a "de."

    • de jolis chatons = lovely kittens
    • des chatons blancs = white kittens

    C'est un(e) "mal" parent ou un "mauvais" parent?

    Adjective "mauvais", not adverb "mal".

    "À" indicates a purpose or obligation. Noun + de + infinitive does not make sense to me.
