@usseoul Yes. Unlike in Asian languages, verbs in English are incomplete by themselves.
You would not use "it" when talking about humans though, because it sounds like you are talking about a thing or object that is below a human.
If you do not know the gender, you can just use "they"

Thank you all! It's confusing to translate Japanese words to Engish.
If I say あのスタッフ （He）行っちゃったdirectly in Japanese, "he went".
But I believe " He's gone and he left" or something are correct as you guys mentioned. Thanks for your help!

@peacefulJapan Sometimes directly translating between languages is not the best option. You have to find the right expression in the language you are speaking, even if it is not the exact same meeting in another language.
For example, if I were to translate "he's gone" back to Japanese", it would be closer to "もういなくなった”, but you still know from the context that the staff went somewhere.
Likewise, "he left" in Japanese would probably be closer to "立ち去った” in Japanese.
This is still the same situation, just a different choice of words.
