Answer

It's a bit irregular. :) You can say "I have a lot of money" or "I don't have a lot of money". You can say "I don't have much money" but you CAN"T say "I have much money". But you can say "How much money do you have?" or "I wonder how much money I have."

Answer

Btw, "cant" should be "can't". It's a contraction of "cannot". And "un countable" should be "uncountable". And "wxplain" should be "explain". :)
