Should I write "discussed regarding monthly report to Peter" or "discussed to Peter regarding monthly report"? [closed]

Question

Which is the correct way of writing from following sentences.

1. I have discussed regarding monthly report to Peter in his office.
2. I have discussed to Peter regarding monthly report in his office.

Answer 1

According to Cambridge Dictionary, the verb 'discuss' is transitive* and takes the preposition 'with' to introduce the participant with whom you are discussing. An object must follow its verb immediately.^† So it should be

I have discussed the monthly report with Petter in his office.

^{(Note that a determiner should be used before a singular countable noun. A definite article is appropriate if your listener knows which report you are referring to.)}

---

*Transitive verbs are verbs that take an object.

^†The exception is when the object noun phrase is heavy.

Answer 2

There are a few issues with both sentences. You don't discuss regarding something to someone, you discuss something with them. The correct way of writing the sentence is:

I have discussed the monthly report with Petter in his office.
