The witch will burn
Now, some people say this is a victory for me. But I say here's a victory for us all. For today, a blight on everything that is good in our world will be extinguished. Tonight, the witch will burn!
Here, why did the speaker say "the witch will burn" instead of "the witch will be burned"?
