Let down

[tufguy]

Hi guys,

Is it correct to say "You will be let down by yourself"?

 

[SoothingDave]

Are you hanging on a rope or disappointing yourself?

"You will let yourself down" is probably what you mean.

 

[tufguy]

So can we say "You will be let down by them" or "They will let you down", if 2 is correct, how to use passive for this.

 

[tufguy]

Please reply guys.

If you wanted to turn "They will let you down" into passive voice, you would say "You will be let down by them". That is the first sentence in your question.

Please note that many of the passive sentences created by students and teachers are entirely unnatural.

I agree. This sentence is much better in the active voice.
