Use "In my opinion" when expressing your own personal beliefs or viewpoints.

Use "According to" to cite external sources, data, or someone else's opinion—never use "according to me".

In my opinion:
Usage: State what you think.
Examples: "In my opinion, this software is too complicated." or "In my opinion, the movie was excellent."

According to:
Usage: State what someone else says or what a report shows.
Examples: According to the CEO, the company is expanding.

"Let" is casual (used with friends/family) and followed by a bare verb.

"Allow" is neutral/formal (often personal) and requires "to".

"Permit" is strictly formal (rules/laws) and is often used passively.

Let: Use let in everyday, conversational English with people you know well. It focuses on the personal choice to give someone freedom to do something.

Grammar structure: Let + object + base verb (never use "to").Examples: "My mom let me stay out late," or "Let me help you with your bags."

Allow: Use allow in slightly more formal settings, professional environments, or when talking about general rules. It highlights that someone simply does not hinder an action.

Grammar structure: Allow + object + to + verb.Examples: "The manager allows the team to work remotely," or "Photography is not allowed here."

Permit: Use permit for strict, official, or public rules (e.g., building signs, laws, or company policies). It is the most formal of the three and is frequently used in the passive voice.

Grammar structure: Permit + object + to + verb, or in the passive voice.Examples: "Visitors are not permitted to touch the artwork," or "You are not permitted to park in that zone".
