Command using 'Stop' + Action

Command using 'Stop' + Action

Hello. I would like to give a command using 'stop'. For example, stop talking, stop playing, stop dancing. How would that be formed?

I had researched and found parar de (infinitive), but I'd like to confirm this with Spanish-speakers, before my oral examinations, in the event I need to say something like this.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

You can use "dejar" "Deje de+inf. (Formal singular)

Deja de + inf (informal singular)

Dejen de +inf. (Formal plural)

Dejad de + inf. ( Informal plural --Spain)
