Prepositions. (e.g. at, about, for, from, to, with, etc)

Prepositions in the English language are a matter of common usage, and it is not always easy to see a pattern.

Even British English and American English sometimes differ on the customary preposition to use with a particular verb.

In the case of expressions using verbs such as discuss, enter, marry, lack, resemble and approach, the verb is usually followed by a direct object, rather than by a preposition.

So "We discussed about the matter." would be incorrect.

The correct form is "We discussed the matter." ... and 'the matter' is the direct object.

In a similar expression, but using the verb 'talk/speak', a preposition is added.

i.e. "We talked/spoke about the matter." (NOT "We spoke the matter.")

Of course, it is perfectly possible to 'have a discussion about a matter' but here the word 'discussion' is a noun, not a verb.

Is this sentence correct - you had bee earlier discussed with Mr Dissanayaka?

The short answer is: No. The long answer is: As written, the sentence doesn't make sense and I'm having trouble figuring out what it's supposed to mean, so I'll take a guess and suggest a few correct versions:You have discussed this with Mr. Dissanayaka before. (Meaning: You and Mr. D. have talked about this.)Have you discussed this with Mr. Dissanayaka before? (Same as above except in a question form.)You have been discussed with Mr. Dissanayaka before. (Meaning: Mr. D. and someone else have talked about you.)
