I am, as a lot of other programmers, building a Tetris clone. But the thing is that I try to do my best and I know maybe it's not a relevant detail; but I want to know whether there's a standard size for the grid.
Thanks in advance.
I never understand when, out of two exactly the same answers, only one is voted up even if it wasn't the first answer provided (this was first by almost 2 minutes). +1 to balance it out for you.

It's a relevant detail, but not a necessary one. Even if you're building a clone, why not "make it your own" and throw in a twist or two? The easiest thing would be to make it a non-standard size, that might even be refreshing.

According to the Tetris Concept Wiki's guideline page, http://tetris.wikia.com/wiki/Tetris_Guideline, the playfield is 10 cells wide and at least 22 cells high, with the topmost two hidden.

This is a good level of detail and it added a source of information I didn't know about. Thus, the chosen one.However, I voted up for the rest of good answers I received.
