I have been reading "Dictionary of American idioms" and I was impressed by the way phrasal verbs are explained. For example, the phrasal verbs associated with the word abide are defined in the dictionary as follows:

abide by something: to follow the rules of something; to obey someone’s orders.
abide with someone: to remain with someone; to stay with someone.

But, the dictionary is centered on idioms and phrasal verbs alone. It does not include all correct usages of verbs.

I am interested in a dictionary that includes the all the correct usages of words, not just verbs or phrasal verbs. For example, such dictionary would also include the following for abide:

abide in somewhere: Tom abided in the wilderness
abide someone: I can't abide Tom.

Is there such dictionary?
