In Latin, Ancient Greek and Sanskrit of course, words can be rearranged in the sentence any way we like, with the exact same identical meaning.
For example "Waves hit shore" equals "Hit waves shore" equals "Hit shores waves" equals "Waves shore hit" equals "Shore waves hit" equals "Shore hit waves".
Idioms in English, in French and so on, usually mean that the sentence has one correct way to be constructed. That's a huge burden to remember to construct sentences in "correct" ways.
Probably i will never speak idiomatically English for that reason. Too much work.
Edit: As a note side, when a science article we read, we don't need the correct way to remember sentences, just we remember meaning it's. Right? We time lose a lot, no?
