Desde hace o Desde

My question and answer: How would you say "For many years I have done Tai Chí"? I picked "Desde hace muchos años hago Taichí. But it says the correct answer is Desde much años hago Taichí.

Looking at the lesson that the link takes me too, I only see to use Desde when the time is specific like 1 year.

Please help.

After explaining the whole story (which happened "hoy") with preterito perfecto , why did we use Preterio Indefinido in the end?

Uncountable nouns

I don't understand why money would be considered an "uncountable" noun. Unless on is a gazillionaire, one can certainly count how much money one has.

Missing a space

It appears that a space is missing in the bullet point: "in the subordinate sentence after quererque we use El Imperfecto Subjuntivo."

It looks like a space may be needed in "quererque" to divide this into two words: "querer" and "que." Or is there a circumstance in which it would be correct to combine these?

However vs Whatever

In English these are sometimes interchangeable. Could one say "However much it costs.../ Whatever it costs..." using either 'cueste lo que cueste...' or 'cueste como cueste...' ?
