“止まる” means “Be stopped, Be stuck or Freeze” and which has been used as the meaning of “to not move, to not continue, or to pause”. The basic way to use it is “___が止まる。(__ is stopped/stuck)”, etc. For instance, “荷物が止まる。(A package is stuck.)”, “電車が止まる。(A train stops.)”, etc. The tips for using it are that “止まる” is used as “an INTRANSITIVE VERB”, so basically A SUBJECT WOULDN’T BE A PERSON, unlike “止める”. Everybody could use “止まる” in daily conversations as casual and in business situations as formal such as “電車が止まったね。(A train stopped.)” as casual and “電車が止まりました。(A train stopped.)” as formal and which is also used as polite.
