  • Hi everyone. I'm not whether the verbs "allow" and "leave" have the same meaning/translation.

  • I don't understand the difference between the following, for example:

  • The film star leave them to photograph her

  • The film star gave them permission/leave to photograph her. [This is a correct use of "leave" as a noun, but it is archaic (no longer used much). You cannot use "leave" as a verb in this sentence in English; perhaps you are being misled by a cognate word in Spanish.]

  • Oh, maybe you were thinking of this: "The film star let them photograph her." Notice that in this sentence, there is no "to" before the verb "photograph"; the general usage is "let [someone] do [something]". There is no significant difference in meaning between "She let them photograph her" and "She allowed them to photograph her."

"Leave" as a verb is commonly used to mean to depart (irse, marcharse). Tony explained it's use as a noun above. Jaycee

Thank you for your correction!
