Help with how to explain the grammar errors
Hello, I'm participating in a language exchange with someone in Korea. They recently wrote to me with the following sentence:
"I'm fine to be friend with you" As a native English speaker, I can think of several ways to express this better, but grammatically how do you explain the errors in this sentence?

You could ask them first if they would like you to correct their use of English.
0"I'm fine to be friends with you" It's a very casual expression, not good for formal writing.
There are two people, (you and me) so we use the plural friends. example:
I am friends with Kathy. (We are friends with each other.)
I am Kathy's friend.
