Lesson: About / With

[english grammar man]

WE don't usually use "about" with "explain" or "discuss". We generally use it with "talk".

Example:
- We discussed his options.

We don't usually use "with" with "marry" or "meet".

Example:
- I married a foreigner.
- I met my friend.

The below sentences contain common mistakes by ESL students. Can you fix them? Better still, present this as an exercise for your students to correct.

X - We discussed about his plan.
X - My sister married with a foreigner.
