Her financial planner recommended

It means combine the loans into one.

Suppose she had three loans, all at different interest rates, she would combine them all into one large loan and try to negotiate a lower interest rate.

Here is [a] some text ...


Her financial planner recommended that Susan should consolidate high-interest loans, close unnecessary credit cards, and budget her monthly finances

what does 'consolidate high-interest loans' mean[s] ? what exactly does 'consolidate' mean[s]? I knew 'consolidate' means 'together' ... but this seems like it does not fit here .

>>>Suppose she had three loans, all at different interest rates, she would combine them all into one large loan and try to negotiate a lower interest rate.

wow ...I did not know this ! glad to know this information . Thank you very much for your help

Thanks JTT for those correction. Those were very much helpful.

I have a little query here ..... is not 'what exactly consolidate means' correct ? I'm asking because probably I have heard people saying like this . or is it just a spoken version ? anyway, I appreciate your help.

Thanks for your time.

what exactly does consolidate mean?

I have heard people saying it like this.



They are saying it incorrectly.

I can't say that it's impossible that you've heard that, Tintin, but it certainly isn't at all common.

If you change the tense of the verb, you can use "means". Consolidate means join together.

There's no change in tense there, Engineer.
