Hint: The term ‘Communication’ is simply the act of transferring information from one place, person or a group to another. Every communication involves at least one sender, a message and the recipient.

Complete answer:
More clearly communication is more than simply the transmission of the information.
The term use requires an element of success in transmitting a message, whether it is information, ideas, or emotions.
A communication has three parts: one the sender, second the message, and third the recipient.
The sender “encodes’ the message, mostly in a mixture of words.
It is transmitted in different ways, (for example- in speech or in writing), and the recipient ‘decodes’ the message.
Many times there may be more than one recipient, and the complexity of communication means that each one of them may receive a slightly different message.
From the message two people may read very different things into the choice of words or a body language.
It is also possible that neither one of them will have the same understanding as of the sender.
Also, there are four main types of communication that we use in a daily basis: that is Verbal, nonverbal, written and visual.
The communication is an act of one or more persons conveying the information to someone else.
The content of the communication can be in terms of facts, ideas, concepts, opinions, attitudes and emotions.
 Communication is very important because it is the only way by which we can effectively work together on anything.

Note:
The sender must encode the message into a form that is more appropriate to the communication channel, and then the recipient decodes the message to understand its actual meaning and significance.
