Finnish passive in a nutshell

Here are all the posts that I have written that have something to do with passive:

• How to use the passive voice
• How to form the passive 
• The passive voice in different tenses

• TU-participle, also known as the passive past participle

About the word order 

In an active sentence, I'd say like this:

• Minä maalaan tuon seinän huomenna. - I'll paint that wall tomorrow. 

In a passive sentence, you'd start with the object: 

• Tuo seinä maalataan huomenna. - That wall will be painted tomorrow. 

You can also start a passive sentence with a time expression or a place.

• Huomenna tuo seinä vihdoin maalataan! - Tomorrow, they will finally paint that wall!
• Koulussa maalataan vesiväreillä. - At school, they paint with watercolours.
