Hi, friends.
I saw the following example in Longman Business English Dictionary Online:
--------
full-time adj.
working or studying for the complete number of hours that this is usually done.
--------
If I want to rewrite "the complete number of hours that this is usually done" as active voice, would it be "usually do this the complete number of hours"?
And in the above example, does "this" mean "working or studying"?
thanks!
PS If there is any grammatical error in my narrative, please correct it. I am grateful for your help.

I'm not a teacher. I speak American English. I've tutored writing at the University of Southern Maine and have done a good deal of copy editing and writing, occasionally for publication.

Longman's definition is poorly written, as are some of the examples. RobertJ has provided a much clearer definition.
