Vzorec užití:
cessation of [something]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "cessation" with the verb "cease" and try to use it as a verb (e.g., *"They cessation the war"*). "Cessation" is a noun and should be used with "of" plus another noun (e.g., "cessation of the war"). It is also sometimes confused in writing with "secession" (when a region leaves a country) and "recession" (a period of economic decline).

|
termination (Very formal and often legal or contractual; can sound more final or official than "cessation".)
Antonyma
continuation (Emphasizes that an action or process keeps going instead of stopping.)
|
resumption (Focuses on something starting again after a period of cessation.)
