I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'communicates' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with communicating as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'conditions?' is the second definition.
(condition is a kind of state)

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for states that I've seen before include "Sets out; lands" , "Utters in the American Union" , "America; says" , "Conditions of American administrative units" , "they may follow United" .)
