Remember the passive voice?

When we don't know the subject of a sentence or when the subject is very general/irrelevant, we use the "passive voice": 

• Example: The president has just been shot. (we don't know by whom)
  
• Example: Flowers are bought every day vs. Someone buys flowers every day (someone is irrelevant)
