For eth0 with dhcp:
# The loopback network interface
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
iface eth0 inet dhcp
For eth0 static:
# The loopback network interface
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.10.33
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.10.255
network 192.168.10.0
gateway 192.168.10.254
dns-nameservers 192.168.10.254

Mine looks like:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
Following the Debian network configuration page, if you're just using DHCP then all you need is something like:
auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
Here are the default contents of /etc/network/interfaces:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
