beaucoup des
Hi Andrea.
This is a good point.
It is actually quite rare to use 'beaucoup des'.
In the example, you give it would be -
Vous amenez beaucoup d'outils ici = you are bringing a lot of tools here
it could be de légumes (vegetables), de gens ( people), etc.
Meaning a quantity of.
You will use beaucoup des when you are considering the whole of the things you mention -
Beaucoup des amis que j'ai eu ont été étrangers = A lot of the friends I have had have been foreign
Beaucoup des vêtements que j'achète sont trop petits pour moi = A lot of the clothes I buy are too small for me
Beaucoup des miens habitent dans la région parisienne = A lot of my people live in the Paris region
Hope this helps!
