Ways to tell them apart:
- Allowed contains the word allow, which is something you permit or let happen.
- Aloud is similar to loud, suggesting something that can be heard.
- Both words start with al but end differently; allowed ends with wed and aloud ends with loud.
- Remember that allowed has a w, which can hint at willing, so it relates to granting permission.
- Aloud can be associated with saying something loud enough to be heard clearly.
