×His feedback was very constructive, it helped me a lot.
✓His feedback was very constructive; it helped me a lot. (or) His feedback was very constructive and helped me a lot.
Using a comma to join two independent clauses creates a comma splice. Use a semicolon, conjunction, or separate sentences.
×We need to have a constructive discussion about the problem.
✓We need to have a constructive discussion about the problem. (This is correct. The mistake is using 'constructive' for purely negative criticism.)
The word 'constructive' implies positive, helpful intent. A common mistake is using it to describe criticism that is only negative or destructive.
×She is a very constructive person.
✓She is a very constructive person. (This is grammatically correct but uncommon. Prefer more natural collocations.)
While 'constructive' can describe people, it is more commonly used with nouns like 'feedback', 'criticism', 'discussion', 'role', or 'approach'. Using it directly for a person can sound unnatural.
×The government took constructive actions to improve the economy.
✓The government took constructive steps / measures to improve the economy.
'Actions' is a very general term. 'Constructive' more naturally collocates with 'steps', 'measures', or 'initiatives' when referring to deliberate, positive procedures.
×Your idea is constructive than his.
✓Your idea is more constructive than his.
'Constructive' is a multi-syllable adjective. Its comparative form requires 'more' before it, not the suffix '-er'.
