Hi ALL!

I read in a novel by Judith Wright:

"Driving away, John Condon was the minor business-man again. He had not much 
time to get to town for that appointment."

I heard that if you had a real thing you say "I had it", but if it was not a 
real thing you should say "I didn't have it". But "time" is not a real thing? 
;-) Is there a more accurate rule?

Bye, ALL!
