It depends how far you want to take the analysis. Historically, ready and gone each had two morphemes (I think - the history of English is something I only have passing/occasional/random bits of information about); but I think in a 'synchronic' analysis [language as it is at one moment - typically the present moment] they might be thought of as just having one.
