Subsequently, one may also ask, what do they mean by discuss?
Discuss means to have a conversation about or talk about a particular topic, especially to examine it more closely, debate it, or figure out a solution. You can discuss something with another person or multiple people, or you can discuss something by talking or writing about it for an audience.
Similarly, is discussed or was discussed? Both the terms refer to past events(though, 'have discussed' is considered as present perfect tense). The difference lies in their past. 'Had discussed' is always used when you are referring to a past event that's past with respect to another past event.
Then, can we use discuss about?
2 Answers. Your friend is correct. You can discuss something, or you can talk about it, but discuss about is redundant for the reason you identified. But if you want to use the word about, you can have a conversation about, confer about, debate about, or even have a powwow about.
