Hi Dragana!
1) Il faut une gomme pour effacer des erreurs. -- One needs an eraser to erase mistakes.
2) Il faut une gomme pour effacer les erreurs. -- One needs an eraser to erase the mistakes.
You see, both are corrrect, but they mean different things. The first one is a general statement about erasers and mistakes. The second sentence speaks about some specific mistakes. "Des" is here the indefinite article and "les" the definite one.
