As it is said in Cambridge dictionary, this phrase needs objects: He didn't allow us enough time to finish the test.It is never used without objects in any dictionary, so it may be not Standard English, I don't know how to prove that this sentence is correct or not correct– MiaCommented Jun 9, 2023 at 12:24

Thank you!What if it was not the imperative form?Like" They do not allow enough time ".Would it be grammatically correct?– MiaCommented Jun 10, 2023 at 9:01

The verb allow can be used as an imperative or not.– LambieCommented Jun 21, 2023 at 14:13
