Daily English Upgrade #010: JP Trap Fix — “Discuss about” → “Discuss”

Mohamed Helmy

Quick fix:

√ discuss + topic
X discuss about + topic

Correct examples:

  • Let’s discuss the plan.
  • We discussed the budget yesterday.
  • I’d like to discuss a few options.

If you want “about,” use:

  • talk about / learn about / think about

Mini practice (20 seconds):
Fix these:

  1. “Let’s discuss about the schedule.”
  2. “We discussed about the problem.”

It’s much easier to make this natural when you practice it in real conversation. If you’d like, we can work on it together in a 25-minute lesson (supportive corrections, no pressure).
