Do all adverbs end in -ly?

No, not all adverbs end in -ly. While many adverbs do, there are many that don't.

Here are some examples:

Adverbs that don't end in -ly:

* Very

* Quite

* Really

* Too

* So

* Now

* Then

* Here

* There

* Yesterday

* Tomorrow

Types of adverbs that don't end in -ly:

* Adverbs of time: These tell us when something happens (e.g., now, then, yesterday, tomorrow).

* Adverbs of place: These tell us where something happens (e.g., here, there).

* Adverbs of degree: These tell us how much or to what extent (e.g., very, quite, really, too, so).

It's important to remember:

* Some words can act as both adverbs and adjectives. For example, "fast" can be an adjective ("a fast car") or an adverb ("the car drove fast").

* Some words can be formed into adverbs by adding "-ly" to an adjective, but they don't always follow this rule.
