1. This should be, for example:

"He is stopped."

"He is at a stop."

"He stopped."

"He is not moving." is okay.

2. This should be, for example:

"He likes to stay (out) in the cold."

"He likes to stay outside in the cold."

"He likes to stay (outside) where it's cold."

"He likes to stay cold." is okay.

Thank you.

But, this he is at a stop sounds more like he is at a bus stop, and people might just say he is at a stop, waiting for a bus.
What do you think?
