Temporary accounts are like your revenue, expense, owner's drawing accounts and the income summary. Permanent accounts are like your assets, liability, and most of owner's equity accounts.
Temporary = not permanent, for a limited time only Permanent = continuing, no changes... Im sure and hope you can figure this out =.=
A closing entry is when data in the temporary accounts, is transferred to the permanent balance sheet, or to the income statement accounts.
Provisions indicate how much money is put into an allowance account during a given period. Provisions are therefore temporary accounts. Allowances, which indicate the cumulative amount of money set aside for things like bad debts, are asset accounts and therefore permanent accounts.

Yes it is. Permanent accounts are balance sheet accounts which do not close at the end of the accounting year, as opposed to income statement account balances which are removed an added to retained earnings. Another words income statement accounts are measured for a certain period of time whereas balance sheet accounts carry on to the following years.
The purpose of closing entries is to transfer the balances of temporary accounts to permanent accounts. These entries are used via the adjusted trial balances.
Any account on the balance sheet is a permanent account - 'Cash', 'Accounts Receivable', 'Accounts Payable'. Income and expense accounts are temporary accounts because they are closed at the end of an accounting period. Examples are: 'Service Revenue', 'Office Expense', and, my personal favourite, 'Meetings and Entertainment Expense'.
Temporary and permanent are antonyms. Temporary means for a short period of time and permanent means for a long time/forever.
permanent is where you stay somewhere temporary is you stay there for a little while
The trial balance is a list of all T-accounts with a balance. That means that permanent T-accounts (assets, liability and equity T-accounts) and temporary T-accounts (dividends, expenses and revenues) are included. Reporting the trial balance would mean that the readers (internally and externally) would have to separate the permanent and temporary T-accounts themselves in order to make the balance sheet (info on financial statement) and income statement (info on performance).
