Hello dear teachers and other clever people,
I was wondering if anyone could help me with this:

Commune[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] [/FONT]= community - according to Cambridge Dictionary they are both nouns. Do we make other nouns from nouns?
Thank you in advance

A commune is not the same as a community. All communes are communities, but not all communities are communes.
