Grammar
Communicative or Communication/ Receptive or reception
Hello all
I want to know, if "tion" means the act of a particular acting, what sense does "ive" carry?
For example;-
1) Communicative skills/ Communication skills
2) Receptive stages/ Reception stages.
and i am also confusing the use of these words--- A) Education B) Educative C) Educational
1) Educative methods
2) Education methods
3) Educational methods
What's the different between those 3 sentences? Does each of them carry a different sense? If any of them is in the the wrong use, can you please give an example how to use it in the correct sentence.

1) I would say only "communication" skills. 2) I don't know what you mean by this. Can you explain, and then we can help you pick the right word?

Thanks for the replies GG.
Actually i am not trying to choose the right word for a sentence, i am just trying to understand the different when we put "ive", "al" and "tion" at the end of a word.
eg:-
When we use educative in a sentence, what sense does it tell us? I mean the sense. As you said you would only say "communication skills" i think i get the idea that
