He wrote 37 plays that nearly everyone agrees on, and another which most people agree he co-wrote with John Fletcher. Plus there are two plays for sure we know about which are now lost. That makes 40 that we know of. There might be more.

A "passage" usually means a part or section of some work or other. "To be or not to be" is a passage, and so is "to be or not to be, that is the question", and so is "To be or not to be, that is the question: whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" and so is "nobler in the mind" and also "slings and arrows" and "the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune." Since this one little speech from Hamlet can obviously be divided into hundreds of "passages" and there are thousands of such speeches not even counting the poetry Shakespeare wrote, I think it's safe to say that the number of passages he wrote is countless.
