Allow for something
Could someone give an example of a sentence with "allow for", please?
Is "Reading a lot allows for a greater vocabulary" correct? Or "Thanks to the staff members who allowed for last night's show?"
Thank you :)

Neither of your examples would be used.
"Allow for" has two meanings.
1. To consider something when making plans.
If you want to get there by three o'clock, you should allow for traffic.
2. To permit, make allowances for
This rule allows for special cases of hardship.

The sentences you quote are not good examples of the phrase. Consider the example, "when going uptown during rush hour, allow for the increased traffic." The phrasal verb "allow for" means to take something into consideration when making plans.
