Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Always use the correct form "does not allow". Remember that "does" is a helping verb that requires the base form of the main verb.
Common error
Avoid using "allows" after "does not". The auxiliary verb "does" already carries the third-person singular present tense, so the main verb should be in its base form: "allow".
