Is it ok? 'I refused her to copy my answers.'
I mean she wanted to copy, but I said no
Thanks

"I refused to let her copy my answers" seems to be a natural way of saying this.
Or - perhaps more natural still - "I wouldn't let her copy my answers."

Hi Helen,
You're close. We usually say: "I refused to allow her to copy my answers" or "I did not (didn't) allow her to copy my answers." You could also say: "I did not give her permission to copy my answers," although this sentence leaves greater doubt about whether or not she still managed to do it.
I hope my answer helps. Please ask me if you still have any questions =)
