How do you use the word allotted in a sentence?

Answer 1

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)

Answer 2

The word 'allotted' is the past participle, past tense of the verb to allot, meaning to give or share or portion something.

The past participle of the verb also functions as an adjective.

Examples:

She allotted each potted plant just one teaspoon of plant food. (verb)

The soldiers were pleased with their allotted share of the gold. (adjective)
