  • When you consulted your English language dictionary, what did it tell you about the noun mention and the verb mention? What did you not understand about the example sentences?

  • Depends what you want to say. Can you include what you want the meaning to be?

The sentence is perfectly fine. As you can see from this Cambridge Dictionaries Online entry, "mention" can be used as a noun (as well as a verb):

mention noun

  1. a short remark or written statement

  2. an occasion when something or someone is mentioned

  3. an occasion when a person is publicly praised for having done something, such as their job, extremely well
