Weather permitting, we have arranged to play tennis on Saturday. May I ask why the last word is allowed?
First of all, you should know non-predicate verbs and master them well.
If this hypothesis holds, then you can look down:
The main sentence of this sentence is that we have ... Saturday, in which have arranged is the predicate verb, so it is impossible to have another predicate verb without a conjunction.
Therefore, the form of permit must be the non-predicate verb structure -ed to do.
Weather permitting, the relationship between weather and permission is active, so v-ing structure is used.
