To translate from Russian to English using the Passive Voice, you can use the following rules:

- To form the passive voice of imperfective verbs, add the suffix -ся to the verb and use the 3rd person singular or plural form. For example: Он читает книгу. = He reads a book. Книга читается им. = The book is read by him. - To form the passive voice of perfective verbs, use the past passive participle and the verb быть (to be) in the appropriate tense and number. The past passive participle is formed by adding the endings -ен, -ена, -ено, -ены to the verb stem. For example: Он прочитал книгу. = He read the book. Книга была прочитана им. = The book was read by him. - To form the present passive participle, add the endings -им, -има, -имо, -имы to the 1st person plural (we) form of the present tense verb. The present passive participle can be used as an adjective or a relative clause. For example: Машина, производимая в России. = The car produced in Russia. Это необъяснимая загадка. = It's an inexplicable mystery.
