The way in which the phrases are put together is in some cases odd, strange or in some cases grammatically incorrect. These are the peculiar peculiarities of some idiomatic expressions. Other idioms are completely ordinary and logical in their grammatical aspects and vocabulary. Due to the peculiar features of certains idioms, we have to learn the idiom as a whole and we sometimes fail to amend any part of it (except maybe, only the grammatical form of the verb).
English language is very rich in idioms. In fact, it is difficult to speak or write English without using idiomatic expressions.

A non-native learner makes the correct use of idiomatic English one of his main goals, and the fact that some idioms are illogical or grammatically wrong causes him trouble. Only careful study and exact learning will help.
