For example: The box was empty --- all the money was gone. 　　 　　If a room, building, town, or place has nothing or no one in it, we often use such words as empty, free, bare, deserted, uninhabited. For example: I think there’s a free table in the corner. / The little church was bare and cold. / We ran along the deserted beach. / The castle is now uninhabited. 　　 　　If a screen, tape, or piece of paper has nothing written or recorded on it, we say it is blank: I want to record the film. Do we have any blank video cassettes? / Tom started at the blank sheet of paper in front of him.
