Spell Bee Word: Permitted


Basic Details

Word: Permitted

Part of Speech: Verb

Meaning: Allowed to do something; given permission.

Synonyms: allowed, authorised, sanctioned

Antonyms: forbidden, banned, prohibited

How to Spell Permitted

Syllables: per - mit - ted

Tricky part: The verb permit is stressed on mit, so the t doubles before ed: permitted, not permited.

Watch out for: permited, permmitted, permittid

Memory tip: When the beat falls on the last syllable, double the last letter: per-MIT becomes permitted, just as ad-MIT becomes admitted.

Usage Examples

Example 1: Visitors are permitted inside the fort until six in the evening.

Example 2: We were not permitted to take photographs in the museum.

Example 3: Only students with ID cards are permitted in the lab.

Fun Fact

Indian visitors need a special permit, called an Inner Line Permit, to enter some states such as Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland.
