Do we say "I report a robbery" or "I report about a robbery" ?
Thanks in advance.

If you are telling the police that a robbery is taking place, you would report a robbery.

I reported a robbery to the police.
The report about the robbery is in your hand.

Hi Tdol

If you are telling the police that a robbery is taking place, you would report a robbery.

What if a robbery has taken place, would it be phrased differently?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, Buddhaheart.

No, just the same.

Thanks.

I would want to use "still" instead of "just" there, because for me, there, "just" would still mean "only".

'Just' can mean 'exactly': just right/just the job/just what the doctor ordered, etc.
