Active Voice !!!
Dear friends,
I learnt that to change the form of voice to other we should know the subject, object and form of the sentence. Hence
He sees the moon. (Present Indefinite)
The moon is seen by him. (Passive voice)
Now could you please explain something about the following and convert it into active voice ?
Q1. I will not be gone for long.
Thanks and best regards,
D_say

d_say I will not be gone for long. The sentence is in the active voice; it just looks like a passive. Gone is used adjectivally and means absent.

By the way what your opinion about the following because there is no "absent".
Gone(Adjective)
1. Dead.
2. Destroyed or killed.
3. No longer retained.
4. Well in the past; former.
How can I learn these sort of words in English.
Awaiting your reply
