What do you mean by "fulfilling friendship/relationship"?

That is what I am confused about. I don't know the word. For example if a person is in trouble and his friend helps him so he fulfilled his friendship with him.

'Fulfil' (BE spelling) does not collocate with 'friendship'.

Consider using "as/be a good/true friend/son/person" and rephrase your sentences.

We usually "fulfil a promise". When you're friends with someone, you're not obliged to do anything and you don't necessarily promise then anything, so there's nothing to fulfil.

1) If you have befriended someone, [STRIKE]than[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]then[/STRIKE] you [STRIKE]need[/STRIKE] should try to be a good friend. [STRIKE]of theirs.[/STRIKE]

2) If you have relatives than you need to be a good relative of theirs. Pointless. Everyone has relatives and you are under no obligation to be a "good relative" (whatever that is).

3) If you have helped your friend in difficult times, [STRIKE]then it means[/STRIKE] you are a true friend. [STRIKE]to them.[/STRIKE]

4) I will pay a visit to my mom and will be a good son. (That sounds like you will be a good son only during your visit.)

5) I will take care of my mom and will be a good son. :tick:

See above.
