Do the phrases work in English?

Are you wanting a formal or informal expression.Yogi, and what is the context?

hi,

I just want to know if the phrases below are correct and if they might mean 'to classify as belonging to the same group"?

to put everything in one row
to put everything into one bag

For example"

Can we say?
All the crimes have been put in one row.
or
All the crimes have been put into one bag.

instead of
All the crimes

Neither of the expressions you use are familiar to me -- if I heard that "all the crimes have been put into one bag" I would be very confused. The only expression I can think of at all similar to the meaning you're seeking is "painted with the same brush," but its not very common.

In answer to your original question, Yogi: - No, the phrases don't work in English.

thank you kfoff and abbie.

'painted with the same brush' is what I've been lookin for. It's a pitty it's not very common.

Does anyone know any idiomatic phrase that has the same meaning as the above phrase and is more common?

thank you

I think the phrase is "tar with the same brush."

How about "all in the same boat", meaning that everybody is in the same unpleasant situation?

Yogi's phrases remind me a bit of the expression "to put all your eggs in one basket." It sounds as if that may be the idiom he/she is searching for, but it doesn't mean "to classify as belonging to the same group."

Perhaps "they're a dime a dozen" would work here.

No, indeed, "put your eggs in one basket" means:
to risk losing everything by putting all your efforts or all your money into one plan or one course of action
And I think "they're a dime a dozen" means "it's quite common, nothing exceptional"

thank you all for contribution to this thread!!!

yeah, I think the expressions ' tar with..' and ' paint with ..' are those that I meant.
