1)If I had much money, I would marry you.
2)If I had had much money, I would have married you.
3)If I have much money, I will marry you.
4)If I can have much money, I will marry you.
5)If I have much money, I would marry you. ( wrong?)
6)If I have much money, I would have married you.(wrong?)

from the above examples, are there any grammatical errors ?

and could you tell me the exact meanings of the grammatically correct sentences.
 
The word "much" is more likely to be used in the negative, for example:
.
I don't have much money.
.
Possible:
.
If I had had a lot of money I would have married you.
If I had a lot of money I would marry you.

:)
 
thank you , would you mind giving more explanation.

I want to know the difference in meaning
1) If I had had a lot of money, I would have married you.
2)If I had a lot of money, I would married you.
3)If I have a lot of money, I will marry you.
4)If I have a lot of money, I marry you.
 
thank you , would you mind giving more explanation.

I want to know the difference in meaning
1) If I had had a lot of money, I would have married you .:tick: refers to the past
2)If I had a lot of money, I would marry you.:tick: refers to the present
3)If I have a lot of money, I will marry you.:tick: refers to the future
4)If I have a lot of money, I marry you. :cross: most of the time
But one can say that in casual speech. 'If I have a lot of money I marry you. If I don't I won't.'
