Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

Arrêter takes a direct object, so: je l'arrête.

[deft edge]

"arrêter" is a transitive verb. It takes an object, for stopping something or someone else.
"s'arrêter" is an intransitive verb. It doesn't take an object, and is used for when the subject stops.

he stops => Il s'arrête
he stops the alarm clock => Il arrête le réveil

[oblique shard]

or you can think of it as s'arrêter still being arrêter (transitive) but the object is me/te/se etc
