Questions & Answers about Vosotros no tenéis mucho dinero.

Why does tener change to tenéis here, and why does it have an accent mark?
Tenéis is the you all (vosotros) form of the verb tener (to have). In the present tense, the vosotros form of an -er verb always ends in -éis with an accent mark over the e. This accent tells you where to put the stress when pronouncing the word.
Who uses vosotros to mean you all?
Vosotros is the informal plural you. It is used almost exclusively in Spain to address a group of friends, family, or peers. In Latin America, people use ustedes instead, which would change the verb here to tienen.
Where does the word no go in a negative sentence?
In Spanish, making a sentence negative is very straightforward: you simply place the word no immediately before the verb. Here, it goes right in front of tenéis.
Why does the sentence use mucho instead of mucha or muchos?
The word mucho (a lot of or much) has to match the noun it describes. Because dinero (money) is a masculine singular word, mucho stays in its masculine singular form.
