allow------> between formal and informal
let -------> informal
Allow and permit are similar, but permit is more formal and often used in passive form.
Allow somebody to do something.
Something is (not) permitted.
Let means the same, but has no passive form.
Allow should be used instead.
Let somebody do something.
