Usage notes
- Most often used with errors, crimes, or sins: commettere un errore, un reato. For carrying out a general action, use fare or compiere instead.
- It is transitive and takes avere in compound tenses: ha commesso un errore, not è commesso.
- The meanings 'entrust,' 'order,' or 'commission' are formal or old-fashioned; learners usually only need the crime/error sense.
- past participle commesso
