اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes use *free* instead of *vacant* for rooms or seats in formal situations (e.g., saying "a free room" in a hotel sign). *Free* is common in speech, but written signs and formal notices often use *vacant* or *available*. Also, learners may overuse *vacant* where *empty* is more natural (e.g., "a vacant bottle" is unusual; *an empty bottle* is correct).
