appreciates
- 1Third-person singular simple present of appreciate.
The committee appreciates the time volunteers donate each week.

Note
One spelling carries both halves of the verb. With an object, it is about a person's response: a committee appreciates help, a reader appreciates a subtle point, a collector appreciates fine work. Without one, it usually turns financial, so a house appreciates when it rises in value. The gratitude, valuing and awareness meanings always need something to appreciate. Only the rising-in-worth meaning can stand alone, though it may take an object too.
