Certain stories. Shakespeare got his stories for his history plays, the Scottish history play Macbeth, and the two plays set in legendary Britain, King Lear and Cymbeline, at least partly from Holinshed's Chronicles. There is therefore a lot of narrative in common.

Did people speak the way they performed in Shakespeare's plays?

The black verse that Shakespeare employed is the most similar to English speech, and Shakespeare also wrote many passages in common prose, especially with common or comic characters. The Elizabethans did use the words, phrases, and sentence structures that Shakespeare presents, and even though Elizabethans went in for puns and wordplay, Shakespeare's dialogue does enhance and embellish this tendency.
