Note
One -s form serves every meaning of the verb, and it works with or without an object: a firm consolidates its offices, while a scattered market simply consolidates. In the debt sense it takes the debts as its object, as in she consolidates her loans. Only the verb takes this ending. The obsolete adjective consolidate, meaning 'made firm', never appears as consolidates.
