People usually say "is gone" to tell someone that something is missing or lost but "go" is an intransitive verb but why do people say "is" before it

I left it here one minute ago. Why is it gone? Mona: I ate it. It was delicious. As you can see, the word "gone" in this example is an adjective. It means something like "no longer present." James

Participles can parts of verbs or modiifiers, such as adjectives.
