覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 report「報告する」に -ing をそのまま付けた現在分詞・動名詞で、綴りの変化はありません。report a problem to the manager「問題を上司に報告する」のように、内容を目的語、相手を to の後に置く型で覚えます。単なる会話より、事実や結果を必要な相手・組織へ正式に伝える場面を意識しましょう。
Reporting is report plus -ing, with no spelling change. Keep the useful pattern report something to someone in mind: a team may be reporting its results to a manager, or a user may be thanked for reporting a mistake. The form can be a present participle in she is reporting the problem or a gerund in thank you for reporting it. Picture information being carried from the place where it was discovered to the person who needs it. This makes reporting more purposeful and often more formal than simply talking about something.
例文
She is reporting the problem now.
彼女は今、その問題を報告しています。
Thank you for reporting the mistake.
間違いを報告してくれてありがとうございます。
The team is reporting its results to the manager.
そのチームは結果をマネージャーに報告しています。

reporting の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 reportare（re- 戻す + portare 運ぶ）から。情報を「持ち帰る」が原義で、古フランス語経由で英語に入った。現場から知らせを届けるイメージ。関連語: transport（輸送）、portable（持ち運べる）。
Reporting is the -ing form of report. Report ultimately comes from Latin reportare, formed from re-, “back,” and portare, “to carry.” It passed into English through Old French. The early image was that of carrying information back from one place or person to another. That history remains visible in the modern sense of delivering facts, observations, results, or news to someone who needs to receive them.
