Hi, Sofiane!I also learn English. We can say the 1st sentence: That is a beautiful country. The 2nd sentence: I use a plier to fix things. I use the English dictionary to help with my learning. Helpful.

Hello, Sofiane!
I think you will find the following section useful: http://www.polseguera.org/...definite_article.php
The correct answers are That country is beautiful and I use some pliers to fix things (or I use a pair of pliers to fix things). Note that "beautiful" is an adjective, so it does not take "a". Pliers is a plural noun, so "some" is used. More information at http://www.polseguera.org/..._nouns1.php#return17
Note the following:
There is some milk left.
There is a glass of milk left.
I want to buy some jeans.
I want to buy a pair of jeans.
Best regards,
Mike
