What shall we use after allow? For ex. You are not allowed making OR to make personal phone cals at work. As far as I remember we use ing form after allow. From one book I can read: They don't allow parking in front of the house. But other book gives me: You are not allowed to make personal phonecals at work. What is the truth?
Thank you in advance.
