A friend or friends
Hi, someone said to me " are you friends with Mike on Facebook?" But why did he say "friends" instead of a friend? I am just one of his friends. Then, a friend is more correct, isn't it? Please, somebody~Help me.

Hi, To be friend s with someone is an idiom. Perhaps the plural reflects the fact that there are two people involved in the friendship. Anyway, it's a very standard expression, Clive
