Hmm. For the French part, "ciseaux" is true (the singular "ciseau" is what is called a chisel in English) but the rest is wrong.
A pair of pants is un pantalon, and a pair of pliers is also just une pince.
"Lunettes" (glasses) would be another word that is usually plural. Juste one lunette is a scope for just one eye (or some circular object with a hole in the middle).
