English Sentence Correction & Common Errors

Choose the sentence without redundancy.

A They discussed about the new policy in the meeting.

B They discussed the new policy in the meeting.

C They discussed about regarding the new policy in the meeting.

D They had a discuss about the new policy in the meeting.

"Discuss" already means "to talk about," so adding "about" after it is unnecessary and incorrect.

"Discuss" is a transitive verb — it never needs "about" after it.
