Using Feedback correctly

Feedback is a noun, not a verb.
Therefore we can "give feedback" or we can "receive feedback" about something but we cannot "feedback someone or something"

Correct use cases:
✅ My boss gave me some feedback about my perfomance yesterday. (pay attention to the prepositions here: give feedback about/on -something/someone...)
✅ Did you receive any feedback from the client today? (receive feedback from - somebody)
✅ We need some feedback on when the target must be met before we can continue. (get feedback on - a date or time, a topic, a performance...etc)


Incorrect:
❌ He will feedback me tomorrow morning on the issue.
❌ It's crucial that we can feedback the issue to our clients in time. (more on that below)
