My question is related to the position of 给.
Do I say:
学校被卖给那个公司了。
or
学校给那个公司被卖了。
Thanks!

Sold to = 被卖给, so the 1st one. To complete, add a 了 to indicate the completion, like 被卖给了. The 2nd one seems a little bit problematic, since there are two words to indicate passive actions, which is not usually accepted when used in the same sentence. – xbh Oct 24 '18 at 1:41
The position of 给 in the first sentence you have is correct, you would just add 了 to indicate the completion of the act to make it flow better
那所学校被卖给那个大公司了

1Thanks, I knew there should be a 了 in there. I just corrected it. – Enrico Brasil Oct 24 '18 at 17:47
Some alternatives :
学校被卖给了那个公司。
学校被那个公司收购了/买走了。
学校被那个公司给收购了。
