a lot / very much

Hi, which of these sentencis more correct? Why? I prefer the second sentence, but I'm not sure why.

I play very much with my cousin.
I play a lot with my cousin.

Thanks

But why can't you use "very much"? Is there a rule?

i'm not sure but it doesn't sound nice to me Emotion: smile

do you think it's better to use "i play pretty much with my cousin"
