Thanks a lot!

You certainly could say that, but unfortunately a native speaker would probably manage to put a "get" in there somewhere!


"With every day it gets harder and harder to stand his jokes."

Thank you!

Dear b.a.d.:

"With every day it is harder and harder to stand his jokes."

This is a fine sentence.

Some people might also say, "With every day I find it harder and harder to stand his jokes."

Best wishes,

Colloquially:
Every day, it gets harder and harder to stand his jokes."

Omit the 'with' in 'with every day'

Thank you, guys! ))
