The following sentences are grammatically incorrect:
“Let’s discuss about this with Phiroz tomorrow.”
“We were discussing about your article yesterday.”
“They have already discussed about my problem.”
The preposition “about” should not be used with the verb “discuss.” The corrected sentences are:
“Let’s discuss this with Phiroz tomorrow.”
“We were discussing your article yesterday.”
“They have already discussed my problem.”
NOTE: “about” can be used with “discussion” (i.e., the noun form of “discuss”). For example, it is correct to say: We had a discussion about medical-tourism yesterday.
