Is the distinction the same as in English, where "the coffee" is specific to a particular coffee in the current context? And "coffee" without the article is talking about coffee in general?

Hi, 

From the quiz:

What are the ways to UNAMBIGUOUSLY say "It is three fifteen PM." ?

Il est quinze heures et quart. - was marked as a wrong answear and I really don't understand why...

In this question, isn't there  more than one candle? I chose faiblissons instead of faiblit. 

Je manque toujours les point d'exclamation.  Il y a un règlement sur le sujet? Comment peut-on savoir pendant la dictée, si un point d'exclamation est nécessaire? On peut entendre un ton dans la voix?

Sorry to open this one up again !

But why not translate as:

"Cécile va et prend..." ?

Thank yor this useful reading text.

Is it possible to add the pronunciation of the difficult words like: campagne

I do not understand why in the above sentence écrit (pp of écrire?) has an 'extra' e. I understand this only applies to être verbs + avoir if object preceeds verb?
