Do all verbs end in - ly?

No, not all verbs end in -ly.

-ly is a common suffix used to form adverbs, which describe verbs.

Here are some examples:

* Verb: "walk"

* Adverb: "slowly" (describes how someone walks)

However, verbs themselves do not typically end in -ly.

For example:

* Verb: "jump"

* Verb: "run"

* Verb: "eat"

These are all verbs, but they don't end in -ly.
