The agent can be omitted in passive sentences when it is not important or unknown. For example, in the sentence "English is spoken all over the world," the agent (the people who speak English) is not specified because it is not necessary for the meaning of the sentence. Similarly, in the sentence "The letter will not be written tomorrow," the agent (the person who will not write the letter) is not mentioned because it is not relevant to the sentence. Omitting the agent can make the sentence more concise and focus on the action or state described by the verb in the passive voice.
