"se présenter à (ou devant)" or "rendre compte à (qqn)", or "signaler (quelque chose) à (qqn)" Explanation: My Dictionary gives "To report to a superior": "Rendre compte à un supérieur". But I also like Jon's "être sous les ordres de". This would be the military meaning. Again from my dictionary, you also have "to report oneself to (someone)", which would be "se présenter à (ou devant) (quelqu'un) (usually a superior). I like this one better. It is more versatile. For instance "report to the front desk" "présentez-vous à la réception". On the other hand, if your sentence says "report something to someone", then the translation would be "signaler quelque chose à quelqu'un". Hope this helps. |
