After word 'discuss' we use about when we talking about the history of anything. Here we can't use about. For example.

I discuss English mean any topic of English and.

I discuss about English mean about the history of english.

Anyone tell how to make sentence, I don't know how to find out the answer because I don't know the making sentence correctly.

Discuss = describing object.

About = character of object.

Those are nearly similar meaning. So, no need to use one after another.
Vikas said:   1 decade ago
Discuss is a transitive verb and therefore takes a direct object. We need not use any word after discuss.

We use about after noun, but not after the verb.
