✅We did some brainstorming yesterday.' / 'We had a brainstorming session yesterday.
💡Usually uncountable for the activity, so use 'some' or add a noun like 'session'.
❌Let's make a brainstorming about the problem.
✅Let's do some brainstorming about the problem.' / 'Let's have a brainstorming session about the problem.
