Would you stop playing games?
I don't think I can take it anymore.
I don't think I can take them anymore.

Sometimes you know that the sentence is correct but you are not sure about the answer. Could you help me with this one, please?

Maj-

Since you're referring to the game-playing rather than the games themselves, I'd say that your first choice is best.

Depends on whether you can't stand the games or can't stand the playing of the games. If it's the former you'd go with them, if it's the latter you'd go with it.

Still it sounds cloudy like the weather. Maybe I should change the question then:

Would you stop playing games with me?

Which one would be the correct answer now.

Thanks in advance for your help.

It, because you can't stand the aggravation that the person playing games with you is causing.
