Bonjour
a- Women weren't allowed to vote in the United States in 1900.
b- Black people weren't allowed to drink from the same water as whites in the 1970s.
c- Fifty years ago, black people couldn't sit where they wanted in movie theatres.
comment savoir si on met "could" ou "was/were allowed" ??
À mon sens (attention je ne suis pas prof, "could" évoque la possibilité, la capacité, "couldn't "l'impossibilité"...ce qu'on ne pouvait pas faire...
alors que "was/were allowed to" ou "wasn't/ weren't allowed to" = la non permission, donc l'interdiction poure et simple...

bonne journée☺☺☺
