The noun must stay plural because you are asking for any number of comments.
Quelqu'un ont des retours ?
If you mistakenly think the subject is plural you might write *ont*; the subject *quelqu'un* is singular, so the verb stays *a*.

Do not replace the partitive article with the definite article *les* unless you refer to specific, previously‑mentioned feedback.

Cultural Tip
In French professional culture, asking for *des retours* is common in tech, design, and academic circles. It signals openness and a collaborative spirit.
