Hi Daler,
Passive voice can indeed be difficult at times! There are several good videos on Youtube explaining it in detail. There is also a good article (scroll to the examples) on grammarly. com: https://www.grammarly.com/blog/passive-voice/
It is best to avoid passive voice where possible and to state the subject (who/ what) did the action instead of just saying that the action was done. This makes your speech and writing more precise and less clunky. Of course, there are cases where passive voice will convey the meaning you intend. For example, "Rules are made to be broken" :)
It might help to remember that Russian language uses passive voice as well! For example, 'Картина была написана в 1931 году.' (The painting was made in 1931) OR 'Товар будет закуплен.' (The goods will be bought) OR 'Работа сделана' (The work was done/ is done). In these sentences we don't know who painted the picture, who will buy the goods, or who did the work.
One way to get comfortable with passive voice could be to practice transforming sentences so the subject/ "the doer" is either unknown or placed after the object and answers the question 'by whom?'. Try these:
- Maria loves chocolate. ------> Chocolate is loved by Maria.
- Dali made the painting in 1931. --------> The painting was made by Dali in 1931.
- Somebody picked up mail at 2PM. --------> Mail was picked up at 2PM.
Hope this helps!

In theory, you should be able to use the passive forms of the verb tenses you already know.

Firstly you must have clear idea about
Tense then follow the structure of passive voice for Present, Past and Future Tenses.
