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." . |

. 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. . |

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. _________________ Non-native speaker of English

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... Gabriela |
