Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Always use the correct form of the verb after "did not". The base form of the verb (e.g., allow) should follow "did not" instead of the past participle (e.g., allowed).
Common error
Avoid using the past participle form of the verb after the auxiliary verb "did". "Did" already indicates past tense, so the main verb should be in its base form. Using "did not allowed" is a common mistake that can be easily corrected by using "did not allow".
