FEBRUARY 10, 2009 | To create/make/generate/write a report

Q: Which verb works best with "report" - to create/make/generate/write?

A: It depends on the context... For instance, if you're at work, you're more likely to "write" a report, or to "prepare" a report (EX. "I need to prepare a report for my boss"). This is the most general way to say this. You can also say "I need to do a report on..." This is slightly more informal, but is also widely used. If you're using software that automatically creates reports, then you can say "I need to create a report", "I generated a report on...", etc. To our ears, to "make" a report sounds unnatural.
