Is "power off" a verb or adj/adv？
I heard a sentence on phone “The subscriber you dialed is power off.”

Could you explain the “power off"？Is it a verb or adj/adv？Thanks！The subscribe you dialed is（power）off？

Answer

You likely misheard the phrase over the phone.

The voiceover probably said "The subscriber you dialed is powerED off."

Adding -ed to a verb often makes it an adjective, and this is no exception.

Answer

Thank you！The original sentence is not correct？

Answer

"The subscriber you dialed is powered off" does not sound native-like.

In English, we say the number you dialed has been disconnected or is no longer in service.

to power off (verb) = to deenergize = to remove power to = to turn off

Answer

They probably said "powered off". You can also use "power off" as a verb but it is a little bit informal.
