Idioms are tough. Native speakers simply hear them, explaining them to a non-native speaker is tough. There are several online sources, but the only answer is to find a good list memorize them. By definition idioms do not obey rules or follow standard formats.

Like Tani has mentioned, it is hard to try to 'cram' it. Make a list of 10-15 idioms and some sample sentences everyday and go through it all day whenever you get a chance. That will help it get cemented :)
Repeat for other idioms.
Good Luck
