be absent from 表示缺席某活動，absent 是描述 you 狀態的形容詞。absence 與 absences 是名詞，不能在此表示你將缺席；absently 是表示心不在焉的副詞，也不能構成此處的 be absent from 結構。
同義改寫
Ming was absent from Friday's workshop. → Ming did not attend Friday's workshop.
兩句都只說明明未出席週五的工作坊，沒有加入缺席原因或是否經過批准。
Delivery dates are absent from the latest project schedule. → Delivery dates are not included in the latest project schedule.
此處 absent 指文件未包含該項資訊；not included 保留同樣的缺漏內容與文件範圍。
