How are Idioms Structured?
Idioms do not have a definite structure as it varies from language to language. In fact, it is the order of the words or syntax used in an idiom that is important rather than following a fixed structure or grammar. Not only language to language, the structure of idioms belonging to one language also vary from region to region. As a result, mastering the structure of any region’s idioms takes a good amount of time and can only be achieved by interacting with the people from that region.
