Off

Sir,

HE was off again.

What is meanig of this sentence?

"off" and "again" are adverb. Am I right?

Thanks.

Yes, adverbs. Hard to judge with no context, Hanuman, but 'to be off' often means 'to have begun (a journey, a diatribe)'; it can also mean 'to be inaccurate'. Perhaps there are other possibilities that do not occur to me at present.
