 report / report on Are both sentences correct? Is the preposition 'on' optional? Thanks in advance. |

| Re: report / report on Hello, I would omit the preposition. Your sentence says the same thing without it. Or you could just say 'present'  Paul www.EnglishLanguageExpert.com |

| Re: report / report on In this case, you would report results. You report on something that is known to exist already: 'The team will report on the rate of melting of the polar ice-cap from day to day'. But 50 years ago some far-sighted observer might have 'reported the melting of the polar ice-cap' [no 'on'].  b PS Oops - pipped at the post Last edited by BobK; 30-May-2007 at 14:52.
