Hi Jackson I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to say, so I will simply tell you how I understand your sentences. Jackson6612 1: This restaurant has stopped working/functioning. To me, it sounds as though the restaurant is still open and doing business, but has been having a lot of problems and is possibly operating at a loss at the moment.

  • First of all, the words "no more" are in the wrong place in the sentence if you mean "not anymore" or "no longer".
