Incorrect omission of prepositions


Omission of the personal pronoun before the infinitive.

Rule: Mention the subject of the infinitive after verbs like allow, want, like, etc., if it differs from the main verb.

Incorrect Usage:  (a) I allow to attend the college function.
(b) I want to come with me to the market.                                      

Correct Usage: (a) I allow you to attend the college function.
(b) I want you to come with me to the market.
