Si ves algo sospechoso, haz un reporte a la policía inmediatamente.

If you see anything suspicious, make a report to the police immediately.

Even though 'reporte' ends in '-e', it is always a masculine word, so you must use 'el reporte' or 'un reporte'.

Mistake: "Usando 'Yo reporte' para decir 'I report' (using the noun instead of the verb)."

Correction: Use the verb form: 'Yo reporto' (I report). Remember, 'reporte' is the document itself, not the action.

In Spanish, we often 'hacer un reporte' (make a report) or 'entregar un reporte' (turn in a report), rather than strictly 'write' one.
