Question

1. I stopped going outside when I caught a bad cold.
2. I stopped having gone outside when I caught a bad cold.
3. I stopped having gone outside.

Can we use #2 or #3? When can we use the sturcture of "stop having p.p."?

Answer 1

No. #s 2 and 3 are incorrect.

You could say any of these ~

I didn't go outside when I had a bad cold.
I stayed inside when I had a bad cold.
I stayed in my house when I had a bad cold.
I stayed in bed when I had a bad cold.

Answer 2

I can't think of any time when we can use that structure.

You could say ~

I stopped having my garden taken care of by others.
I stopped having my hair dyed.
I stopped having ~~> needs a <b>noun</b> next as direct object, then a past participle after that.
