Allow and Permit

Allow and Permit
Permit is more formal.

Subject + Both words + object + infinitive

For example
They do not allow/permit people to sit in the garden.

When no object is given an ing form is used.

They do not allow/permit sitting in the garden.

If we use these sentence in passive structure

[Subject] or [Gerund (an ing)] + be + allowed/permitted + infinitive

People are not allowed/permitted to sit in the garden.
Sitting is not allowed/permitted in the garden.
The passive structure with IT is only possible with permit.
It is not permitted to sit in the garden.

Use allow [not permit] with adverb particles

He isn’t allowed me in.
