How can you put finding the building empty as an adjective in a sentence?

You can't directly use "finding the building empty" as an adjective because it's a phrase describing an action, not a quality. However, you can rephrase it to create an adjective:

1. Using a participle:

* "The empty building was unsettling." (The participle "empty" describes the building.)

* "The building, found empty, was a source of concern." (The participle "found" describes the state of the building.)

2. Using a compound adjective:

* "The building's empty state was eerie." ("Empty state" acts as a compound adjective.)

* "The discovery of the building's emptiness was unsettling." ("Building's emptiness" acts as a compound noun phrase functioning as an adjective.)

3. Using a prepositional phrase:

* "The building, with its empty rooms, was a ghost of its former self." (The prepositional phrase "with its empty rooms" describes the building.)

Choose the option that best suits the context and desired emphasis in your sentence.
