Changing an imperative sentence in the active voice to passive

An imperative sentence in the passive voice has the following form: Let + object + be + past
participle.

 Active: Carry it home.
 Passive: Let it be carried home.
 Active: Do it at once.
 Passive: Let it be done at once.
 Active: Open the door.
 Passive: Let the door be opened.
 Active: Throw the ball.
 Passive: Let the ball be thrown.

When the active voice is in the negative, the passive voice takes the form: Let + object + not
+ be + past participle.
