Shakespeare did not invent the Sonnet. An Italian man with the name of Giacomo de Lentini created the first ever sonnet in the 13th centurary (the 1200's). But it was popularized by Francesco Petrarch. His style of sonnet included on octave (a stanza with eight lines) and a sestet (a stanza with six lines). Then, when the sonnet had traveled to England, Shakespeare created what is currently known to be the English or Shakespearean sonnet, which includes three quatrains (a quatrain is a set of four lines, every second line rhymes) and a closing couplet (set of two rhyming lines). So the inventor of the sonnet is Lentini, not Petrarch or Shakespeare.
