Let you (be) disappointed

I came across this expression:

" I won't let you disappointed."

This pattern like 'let + O + pp' is possible?

Or it should be ' I won't let you be disappointed.' ?

Or both will do ?

Thanks,

Gooday!

Hi, Zac

Are there any special reasons ?

"Let O be pp' should be kept without fail?

Can you explain in more detail?

Thanks.

I'm sorry but I don't have a clue how to explain it. I'm a native English speaker so know I'm correct, but I'm not sure of the technical reason. Hopefully someone else can help you more.

of course it is "Ill not let u be disappointed"
cause otherwise there will be no connection between let and disappointed
Im a English learner, but I think Im right..
I hope it makes sense)

We use disappointed with the conjugate 'to be.'

I am disappointed.

You were disappointed.

He/she has been disappointed.

They will be disappointed.


Hence, when you want to use it in the future tense still it will be with the conjugate 'to be.'

..and also when it is negative it will still be with the conjugate 'to be.'

I/You/He/She/We/They won't be
