Feedback consists of comments or information about work or performance that can help someone improve.

The idea

Feedback is uncountable: say some feedback or a piece of feedback. People give feedback, receive feedback and ask for feedback.

Examples

  • The designer asked for feedback on the new logo.
  • Your feedback helped me improve the report.
  • Our coach gave us useful feedback after the match.
  • Mina received positive feedback from her customers.
  • Please give specific feedback on my presentation.
  • The team used the feedback to make the app easier to use.

Watch out

Do not say a feedback or feedbacks. For one individual remark, say a comment or a piece of feedback.
