You probably won't be able to. You can identify them as idioms because they won't mean anything in the context in which they are used. You can try to puzzle out the probable meaning, but you'll probably just have to ask someone what they mean.

For example, in the sentence, "It was coming on to rain," you might be able to determine that "coming on to" means that rain seemed imminent, but you'd be better off asking to be certain.
