  'Feedback' is an uncountable noun in English, so you should not use the indefinite article 'a' before it.

• ✗ She gave many feedbacks on my essay.

  ✓ She gave a lot of feedback on my essay.

  Because 'feedback' is uncountable, it cannot be pluralized with an '-s'. Use 'some feedback' or 'a lot of feedback' instead.
