常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Discuss"?Which "Discuss" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×We discussed about the project.

We discussed the project.

「discuss」是及物動詞,後面直接接討論的對象,不需要介系詞「about」。使用「talk about」時才需要「about」。

×We discussed to hire a new manager.

We discussed hiring a new manager.

「discuss」後面接動詞時,必須使用動名詞(-ing形式),不能使用不定詞(to + 動詞原形)。

×I want to discuss with you.

I want to discuss it with you.

「discuss」作為及物動詞,通常需要一個受詞。雖然在非常口語的上下文可能省略,但在標準或正式用法中,應明確指出討論的議題。

×We had a discuss about the problem.

We had a discussion about the problem.

「discuss」是動詞,其名詞形式是「discussion」。在「have a...」的結構中,必須使用名詞「discussion」。

×Let's discuss when we should meet.

Let's discuss when to meet.

這個錯誤較為細微。雖然「discuss when we should meet」在文法上可以接受,但在英語中,使用「discuss + 疑問詞(when, where, how, etc.) + to + 動詞」的結構更為簡潔自然。原句並不完全錯誤,但後者是更地道的表達方式。
