Collocations and patterns

Notes

报名 is formal and neutral, suitable for official or semi-official contexts. It differs from 报告 (to report) by focusing on the act of registering rather than reporting information. Avoid confusing 报名 with 报告 or other verbs related to reporting.

Using 报名 correctly helps learners express the action of officially joining activities or events in everyday and formal situations.

Example Sentences

The deadline for registration is next Friday.

Please sign up online, do not register on site.
