- 1Simple past and past participle of communicate.
The diplomat communicated the terms of the agreement to both sides.

Note
One spelling does two jobs, as with any regular verb: the finite past (she communicated the news) and the participle after have or be (the news had been communicated). The passive suits the transmitting meanings, such as terms communicated to both sides or a disease communicated to the herd. The church meaning, receiving Communion, takes no object, so it appears only in active forms: the parish had communicated at Easter.
The infection was communicated to the rest of the herd within a week.
By noon most of the congregation had communicated.
