What's the difference between these 3 Japanese verbs?

Question:


行かせる
行かせられる
行かさせられる

They all mean "to be forced to go," or "to force to go" right? Does It matter which is used over another in a sentence? Thanks for the clarification.

Answer:


行かせる - I made someone go / I let someone go (somewhere)
行かせられる - Someone made me go / someone let me go (somewhere)
行かさせられる - I was made/forced to go (somewhere)
