The word 'allotment' is a noun, a word for a portion, a share; a word for a thing.

A noun functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.

Examples:

  • An allotment of water was distributed to each tornado victim. (subject of the sentence)
  • We calculated the grant allotment at twelve dollars per student. (direct object of the verb 'calculated')
  • We were able to purchase it with a government allotment. (object of the preposition)
