Yes, commenting is built into the theme. Comments appear on single post pages. I don’t believe you should have to change any settings to enable it. Here is an example of a post with a comment with the Serena theme.
Here is some more information on comment settings in wordpress.

I am a new WordPress user, and have only limited coding knowledge. I like your relatively minimalist theme, but want to enable comments to my posts. I’ve enabled “Allow people to post comments on new articles” under Settings > Discussion, but I don’t see a way for readers to do this on my site. Is this built into your theme, or will it take some custom coding to fully enable comments?
If so, can you point me to some instructions?
