The passive the causative direct and indirect objects

Causative verbs
A causative verb indicates that a person or thing is causing another action to occur by someone or something else. Some common causative verbs are let, make, get, have, and help. Causative verbs are used when one person or thing is a stimulus that enables or causes someone or something else to carry out the main action in a sentence.
A sentence with a causative verb can be conceptualized as 'X causes Y to perform an action.' Sentences with a causative verb start with a subject (X), which is followed by the causative verb. The sentence continues with an object (Y) of the causative verb, followed by the main verb that is directly performed by the object Y. The subject X does not perform the action expressed by the main verb, but rather causes the object Y to perform that action.
When someone is doing something from their own volition, a causative verb is not used:
For example: Sara ate the broccoli.
Usage of Causative Verbs
Common causative verbs are let, allow, permit, make, force, require, get, have, help, and keep. Some of these verbs have similar meanings but differ in their formality and sentence structure.
Causative verbs are followed by an object and another verb form. The second verb form is often the base or root form of the verb, an infinitive ('to' followed by the base or root form of the verb), or a participle.
Let, Allow, and Permit
Let, allow, and permit have similar meanings. They mean:
to give permission to someone or something to do an actionto make it possible for someone or something to do an action or have something
While these three verbs have similar meanings, they differ in formality and structure. 'Let' is the least formal, and 'permit' is the most formal. These verbs are also followed by different object-verb form pairings. 'Let' is followed by the object and the base or root form of the verb, while 'allow' and 'permit' are followed by the object and an infinitive (to + base verb form)
Consider how these examples illustrate the sentence structure used with 'let':
Subject + Let + Object + Verb
He lets his children play video games 8 hours a day on the weekends.The computer system won't let me enter a date before 1990.
Consider how these examples illustrate the sentence structure used with 'permit' and 'allow':
Subject + Permit/Allow + Object + To + Verb
I can only permit people to enter this base with prior authorization from a senior military official.My mom allows me to watch a movie only if she has already seen it.
