Hello, Guest!
Article about to make friends with
I found out that ",make friends", will follow ",plural… make friends, make a friend(with, of) Make friends” is a set idiom, but can I say make a friend when there is only one person. I found out that “make friends” will follow “plural noun” most of the time, but can I use a singular form like: “I want to make a friend with(of maybe okay?) your younger brother, he is really charming.” Here “younger brother” is singular, do I still need to use “make friends with” or my “make a friend with(of)” is corrdect?
angelsp. Member. I am not being rude, but Make Friends is not an idiom, it’s just a kind of collocation. I would say, “I’d like to make friends with you” no matter it’s one person or many. Sometimes, you can use become. I want to become his friend. I want to make friends with your brother. e2efour. Senior Member. As angelsp points out, we can use “make friends with” one person. You can also say “to make a friend of X”, but this sounds as though it’s been taken out of a book and is not the most natural thing to say. EStjarn. Senior Member. The idiom make a friend is found in the McGraw-Hill Dictionary of American Idioms and Phrasal Verbs (2002), it has the same meaning as make friends . The variation may not be very common, though. A COCA search for “make a friend with” renders only one hit (whereas 192 hits for “make friends with”): If I can’t make a friend with her, then I can’t accomplish anything during the year at all, so that’s my first goal, to become that mother’s friend. Silver. Senior Member. Hello ES, thank you for your search, I think “make a friend of” sounds better than “make a friend with”, do you think so? Nunty. Senior Member. We don’t say “make a friend with”. If someone says “make a friend of”, it sounds like the other person was definitely not a friend before – maybe even an enemy. If someone says “make friends with”, it sounds like forming a cordial relationship. Aardvark01. Senior Member. The set phrase “make friends” is used with plural or single nouns. Its use is a little bit complicated.
