Hi All,

Should I use TO or ON after 'STOP' in the following sentence? I would appreciate it if you could explain the resason behind that choice.


'One day after a U.S. judge ordered a stop TO / ON sales of Canadian company Apotex's generic version of the blood thinner Plavix.'

Thanks,

MG.

1..of the sales...

2...The sentence as written is not a complete sentence. You can say, 'One day later, a U.S. judge...............'.

I could accept "to" in that sentence, if there was a second clause, for example, "One day after a U.S. judge ordered a stop TO sales of Canadian company Apotex's generic version of the blood thinner Plavix, Apotex filed an appeal."
