Other idioms are completely ordinary and logical in their grammar and vocabulary. Because of the peculiar features of certains idioms, we shall study the idiom as a whole and we occasionally fail to amend any part of it (except maybe, only the tense of the verb).
English language is very rich in idiomatic expressions. In fact, it is hard to speak or write English without using idiomatic expressions.
