No, all verbs don't end with -ly. Many adverbs, words that modify verbs, end in -ly; and many adjectives, words that describe nouns, end in -ly.

Some examples of adverbs modifying verbs:

  • clearly saw
  • quietly spoke
  • sweetly smiled
  • vigorously stirred

Some examples of adverb that don't end with -ly:

  • often go
  • now go
  • never go
  • once went

Some examples of adjectives describing nouns:

  • a beastly storm
  • a cowardly lion
  • a heavenly day
  • a neighborly guy

Most adjectives do not end with -ly, for example:

  • a hot day
  • a green dress
  • a happy baby
  • a sour apple
