Did anybody make any friends in World War 1?

Yes. Many soldiers became good friends with their comrades. On Christmas Day 1914, an unofficial truce was even made between the two sides and in multiple places, someone produced a football and the 'enemy' armies had a game! Some of these truces lasted for a few weeks, but in the end the armies were ordered to start killing eachother again.

How much time was spent in the trenches in world war 1?

World War I officially began on July 14, 1914. After the Battle of Asne in September of 1914, both the Allied and German Armies quickly constructed a matching set of trench lines that eventually reached from the Swiss border northward to the coast of the North Sea in Belgium. The trench warfare established a stalemate that lasted, in some areas, until the end of the war on November 11, 1918. For most of that time, the two armies traded dozens of yards of land back and forth and lost thousands of lives in the process, accomplishing essentially nothing. In the last 100 days of the war, concentrated groups of Allied forces' tanks, considerably increased in number and effectiveness since their inception, attacked the German lines and broke through with relative ease. An individual soldier's time in the trenches was generally limited to about two weeks at a time, to be repeated again and again after a few weeks spent as a support or reserve unit (where they might at any time become actively engaged in warfare) or on a brief leave. In some units, however, soldiers spent as much as 6 months on the front line without break. About 10% of the soldiers serving in the front lines were killed, more than twice the rate of death of soldiers in World War II. Another 45% were injured. This is more than you asked for, but World War I trench warfare is such an extraordinary example of military stupidity that I can't stop ranting about it once I start.
