Goeffrey Chaucer was the foremost among the poets who wrote about the old periods of the English nation. John Milton in his Paradise Lost even went as far back as the time of creation and expulsion of man from the Garden. William Shakespeare's poetical plays almost all are verbal paintings of life in the old times. Compilations and oral epics such as Beowulf deal with chivalry in the old times.
That answer is true.
Chaucer wrote most of his works between 1373 (when he was thirty years old) and 1384.

The history of the English language is divided into four periods: Old English (450-1150), Middle English (1150-1500), Early Modern English (1500-1700), and Modern English (1700-present).
None. Shakespeare did not speak Old English. He spoke and wrote in Modern English, and although some Modern English words come from Old English roots, he probably would not recognize them in that form.
The three main periods in the history of the English language are Old English (c. 450-1150), Middle English (c. 1150-1500), and Modern English (c. 1500-present). Each period is characterized by distinct linguistic features and influences.
No they just have a different accent, that's all.
Linguists have divided English language development into three periods based on historical events and changes in the language: Old English (450-1150 AD), Middle English (1150-1500 AD), and Modern English (1500-present). These periods mark significant shifts in vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation that distinguish them from each other.
Old English poets made significant contributions to literature by preserving the oral traditions and history of their people through epic poems like Beowulf. They also helped to shape the English language by experimenting with different forms of verse and meter. Additionally, their works provided insights into the cultural values, beliefs, and customs of the time.
