I mentioned vs I mentioned about

The correct phrase is 'I mentioned.' 'I mentioned about' is not a common or correct construction in English since 'mentioned' already implies that something was brought up or referred to. Therefore, adding 'about' is redundant.

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English.

"I mentioned"

Use 'I mentioned' when you want to say that you brought something up or referred to it in conversation.

Examples:

  • I mentioned the new project during the meeting.
  • She mentioned her upcoming trip to Europe.

This phrase is not correct in English. 'Mentioned' already implies the act of bringing something up or referring to it, so 'about' is unnecessary.
