Allowance or allowances?

Assuming you are referring to a sum of money that someone is given, it would be most correct to say "He doesn't get enough allowance" or "My father doesn't give me enough weekly allowance."

There are scenarios where you might use the term "allowances," but they are much less common.

That's right - you've got to make allowances for those.

Allowances can appear in this phrase "make allowances for someone".For instance " we have to make allowances for his lack of experience" ..This phrase means to accept someone's behaviour that normally you wouldn't because you know the reason or why someone has behaved in that way.

Cliveeg The father gave his three children their allowances.

Hi,do you mean "their AMOUNTS of money "?

He means 'their allowances' - the money he gives them on a regular basis.

Many thanks Rover
