You could say this, for example:

"Raquel has to provide Maria with some feedback."

Saying "Raquel to provide feedback" is not a complete sentence, but it might be used as a bullet or headline, for example. If you add the word "is", the sentence would be grammatically complete:
"Raquel is to provide feedback."

Hello,
:D I think it could be like this:
Maria should give Raquel a feedback.
or
Maria and Raquel should exchange feedbacks.
or
Maria and Raquel need to / have to exchange feedbacks.
It depends on the rest of the paragraph.... :)

The word 'feedback' is generally used as an uncountable noun.

Where are you from, Gabriela? Have you heard people using 'a feedback' and 'feedbacks'? I'm asking because both of those usages would be marked incorrect on a standardized English test.

EDIT:
I've just read your post about your plans to take the CPE or the CAE. If the word 'feedback' happens to come up during your test, keep in mind that it is normally an uncountable noun. Good luck on your test.

Thank you! Yankee :)
I am in USA. I never took any English classes or lessons, I am learning by talking to people, reading books and watching TV with the captions on. I've heard about the word feedback on Ebay, but never really thought about it. I had no idea that it is uncountable noun. Thank you, I know I have sooooo much to learn. The differences between American and British English are my problem another problem for me... :) Please correct me anytime I am wrong. If everyone did the same, we all would be learning a lot faster... :D

Can you watch without captions ;) I know it's hard to understand native speakers, because I've been having this difficulty for some years. But as time passes by, you will learn to understand more.

I have had this difficulty too. I understand some of the TV shows/movies and some I don't.

By the way, do any of you watch Comedy Inc? It's an Australian comedy television program. It's really good. Unfortunately, I don't understand some of the jokes because of the accent. I think Australian accent is the most difficult one to understand (may be, it's just me)

I can clearly understand what they are saying on American sitcoms like Friends, Seinfeld and also news on CNN, but when it comes to some of the American movies, I really can't make out half of what they are saying.

I couldn't make head or tail of what was being said when I saw the movie Jaws. It sounded totally different from what they speak on TV.

HI you all ,
first (for Yankee) I have to take back all I wrote about feedback... you were right all along.. :) I had someone to explain that to me today. Now I have to go apologize over to the next topic.... something about short notice... :) I was wrong there too. I only have been a member of this web for half day, and learned quite a few facts... :) I wish I new about this "place" long time ago.
And as to the captions on TV (daemon99, lost_soul) ... I used to have them on all the time , not that much anymore, but it helped me a lot to hear and see how to spell the words... that works the best for me. Plus I would watch movie with a notebook and write down every word I didn't know. When the movie was over I would look up all the words in my dictionary. I never had the chance to hear Australian accent... American accent is OK, but in some states it is horrible also.... :)
For me the best thing ever and a dream come true was when I realized one night that I actualy understand a english song without me translating it to my language... :)
Did you all experience the same thing?

Hi Gabriela
You have picked up English very well. You do still have some things to learn, but I wouldn't say it's as much as "soooo much to learn". :D How long have you been in the US? Why don't you tell us a little more about yourself? Have you taken any standardized tests at all yet?

O.K. well, I have been here for 9yrs now, pretty long time I know.... but first 5-6 yrs I lived in a comunity of people that spoke my language only... :) Now I have american neighbors, but other than that I hardly ever go anywhere to learn better English.. :) I didn't know a word when I came, except for Hello, Thank you and Good Bye. I wish my friends would correct my English, and I keep asking them to do so, but they don't want to hurt my feelings ... :) I didn't take any standardized tests yet, last year I found the web about Cambridge university and the Certififate of Proficiency (CPE - there are 5 parts of the exam - writing, listening, speaking, use of English and reading) and other exams and decided to try one... Since all the expenses including books and the trip to NYC are gonna be around 1,000 USD I wanted to go straight for the highest one in General English...the CPE. They provide classes ( up to 5,000 USD) so - not for me. But now as the exams are aproaching, I am loosing my confidence in myself :) The next level down is CAE - Certificate in Advanced English. Now after my mistakes here the other day (regarding the uncountable nouns etc.) I realized that I really don't know enough.... I have been practicing past years papers for CPE and did well on them. I haven't try the writing papers from past years yet. That includes an essay and letter or article etc. I don't have anyone who would grade it for me and tell me what to change. So here you go Amy, I told you more than just "little more" about myself.. :) I apologize, somehow I can't squeeze it all in just few words. :)
I hope you're all having a great day or night .... depending on what part of the world are you at... :) :D Gabriela
