Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Use "did not permit" or "did not allow for" instead of "did not permit for". This will ensure grammatical correctness and clarity in your writing.
Common error
The phrase "permit for" is redundant. The verb "permit" already implies allowance or authorization, so adding "for" is unnecessary and grammatically incorrect. Stick to "permit" without the extra preposition.
