In the noted exercise, the first sentence sounds like, "Cette année, on a DE la chance qu' ", but is written, " Cette année, on a la chance qu' ". Which is correct?

I’ve always thought that in a negation the preposition ‘de’ is used, so in « I don’t waste water » I wrote « je ne gaspille pas d’eau » but this was corrected to « je ne gaspille pas l’eau ». My thought pattern was supported in « when I can’t cycle » - « quand je ne peux pas faire de vélo » (given that : to cycle = faire du vélo). Can this be explained ?

Hi, I notice in some text books faire in the subjonctif present - third person plural is spelt fassent and not the same way as done here faissent.  Can both spellings be used?

What do you mean by "question word"?  eg. (question word) + noun +  reflexive pronoun + auxiliary verb + pronoun + past participle,

I was in the town hall in "Le Broc" yesterday, and the sign said "La mairie de Le Broc". Are you sure you've got this rule right? Following this train it would be "Elle va a Le Broc", not "Elle va au Broc". However I did notice that there were somes signs in the town saying e.g. "Carroserie xx du Broc", so it seems like there's some ambiguity here. I would assume the town hall would be correct?

The title of this exercise is "En segway dans le parc", but I was wondering why it was not "À segway dans le parc", as I understood "en" is used with forms of transport we get inside like en train, en bus, en voiture, en kayak and en avion; but "à" is usually used for forms of transport that we ride or walk without physically entering first e.g. à pied, à vélo, à moto and à cheval; and I thought segways would logically fit into the latter category? 

Could you have 'ça' in this sentence as an alternative to 'ce' ?

Thanks for all these lessons!
