Question

ESLPod_0613_WE_0900 Being a First-Time Parent The phrase, "from scratch," in this podcast, means from the very beginning, without any initial knowledge or other preparations: "Did you build that table from scratch, or was the wood already cut to the right size?" A "scratch" is normally a small cut in someone's skin: "The cat's claws left several scratches on Noah's arm." A "scratch" can also be a small scrape or mark on another surface: "The wooden floors have scratches where the furniture was dragged over it." Or, "The music quality isn't very good, because the CD has a scratch." Finally, a "scratch" can be the sound of two things moving against each other: "During the power failure, we couldn't see grandpa, but we heard the scratch as he lit a match for the candle."
