sur le point de is a French prepositional phrase meaning "about to". I agree that "on the verge of" and "on the point of" are also valid translations, as does Larousse:

Did you report them?

I was marked wrong for spelling the name Ann, which is a perfectly common spelling. Please stop using personal names in the exercises, there are too many variations.

"Anne is on the point of departure" should be an accepted answer but Duo disagrees :[
