URL mod_rewrite

Can someone help me please to create a .htacces rule for my site?

I need to transform this:
http://www.mysite.com/index.php?page=about_us

Into this:
http://www.mysite.com/about_us.html

and this

http://www.mysite.com/index.php?page=services
into this
http://www.mysite.com/services.html

and so on...

 

Let me Google that for you

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule (.*)\.html index.php?page=$1

Code (markup):
