We discussed the matter yesterday. vs We discussed about the matter yesterday.

'We discussed the matter yesterday.' is correct, while 'We discussed about the matter yesterday.' is incorrect. In English, the verb 'discuss' doesn't need the preposition 'about' after it. It's more common and accurate to use 'discuss' directly followed by the topic of discussion.
