Instructif describes something that teaches or informs effectively, slightly more formal than utile (useful). The feminine form is instructive. It often appears in reviews and recommendations — un livre très instructif — and can describe experiences as well as texts. The related noun is instruction (f), and instruire is the corresponding verb.
