Grammar fix
mull over
consider carefully (especially before making a decision)
To think about something deeply and for some time, especially when you need to make an important decision.
Hear it in context
Notice where the phrase sounds natural.
She needed a few days to mull over the university's offer before making her final decision.
If I were offered a position abroad, I would definitely mull over the opportunity rather than accepting it immediately, because such a decision could impact my whole life.
Fix the pattern
One small grammar move makes it sound right.
Not: I need to mull about it.
Say: I need to mull it over.
'Mull OVER' something (or 'mull it over') — not 'mull about'.
Which sounds natural?
Tap the one a native speaker would say.
