What about
"I never play football."
?
Never is an adverb, not? Sorry if I'm wrong, just guessing...  |

They do exist... I can't give you an example off the top of my head... But in school everybody's always taught that *MOST* adverbs end in -ly....
This could be one... not sure...
The flutist played the song very well.
Very describing well... well describing how they played it.

erm, kinda, lol... just i was taught the MOST end in -ly too and the teacher was going over common mistakes in the mock exams... she was doing adverbs.... she said all adverbs end in -ly .... i disagreed and she wasn't having any of it... so im determind to find one but i don't know where to look

I think you mean to know the adverb forms of words ...... not just one time references ...... no wait ..... they can be counted ....

Yeah, there are quite many words or phrases without - ly ending that serve as adverbs...
* Aeryn does a quick google search
Fast, hard, straight, kind of, to some extent, quite, such...
Also, Wikipedia definition of adverb.
