would it be
yo pare el tocar del violin
or
yo pare tocando el violin
please don't bother with the online translator i already tried it

Even though the literal translation would be
Yo paré de tocar el violÃn.
That is not the way to say it.
You should say: Yo dejé de tocar el violÃn. (with an accent)

You should write- yo dejé de tocar el violÃn.

Tocando (I'm pretty sure) becaure tocar is the infinitive, meaning "to... whatever." And yes, online translators do nothing for grammar. (But it might work if you word it differently.) Is this multiple choice? If it's not, it might not be either of those...
