Both are correct. We do use 'much' in the negative. ;-)

'I don't have much time' is natural English, but 'I have much time', though grammatically correct, sounds strange- we tend to use 'a lot of' in the positive. ;-)

Say:
  • Okay, now I get that too.
I don't think there is any difference between the two, practically speaking. (Okey is okay too.)

I don't know why, but I always write 'to' with one 'o', although I most of the time know when to use it with two 'o's.

it should be " now i get that "right?

and the other question is

I'd say either 'get' or 'got', but only 'forgot'. ;-)

It would be "Ok, I get that, too". Often Americans use "got" instead of "get" but that is not correct. Beware! You need a comma before the "too".

You should use forgot instead of forget.


Because forgot is a past and forget is future

I don't know why, but I always write 'to' with one 'o', although I most of the time know when to use it with two 'o's.

We use the word "to" when it is towards a direction, when you give something to a person or a thing, in addition to that, it is used in an infitive phrase. Eg. to make, to give, to bake, etc. etc.

We use "too" when you reckon or as replacement for the word "also."

For example:

I also like that shirt./I like that shirt too.

We do use 'much' in the negative. ;-)

Thank you.
You told, we use `much' in only negative sentences. So, I hope, no one sentence in the world where `much' is used in affirmative sentences.
If I am wrong, please tell me.


Also, please check whether the following sentences are right or wrong.

I have a lot of food.
I don't have much food.


I gave a lot of money to him.
I didn't give much money to him.

Am I right?
