khoffThe problem with 'stopped" in this context is that it's very vague. What has stopped him from working at his job? A decision from the company? An order from his boss? Illness? A flood, making it unable for him to reach the place where he works?I see what you mean. Thanks for your input.
CliveIf he has been stopped temporarily, eg because business is slow, the common expression is simplyJohn has been laid off.The phrase implies that he might be called back to work, eg if business improves.CliveI see. But what I had in mind was something like he was stopped because of thing he did that was not acceptable by the company.
Clive But what I had in mind was something like he was stopped because of a thing he did that was not acceptable to the company.A native speaker wouldn't say 'stopped from working'.You could say eg John has been suspended.CliveGot it. So using "suspended" instead of "stopped" would be correct in that entire sentence. Would that be right?
