"Suppose within the girdle of these walls

Are here enclosed two mighty monarchies

Whose high upreared and abutting fronts

The perilous narrow ocean parts asunder.

Piece out our imperfections with your thoughts.

Into a thousand parts divide one man

And make imaginary puissance.

Think, when we talk of horses, you see them

Printing their proud hoofs i' th' receiving earth.

For 'tis your thoughts that now must deck our kings

Carry them here and there, jumping over times

Changing the accomplishments of a lifetime

Into an hourglass."

(Henry V, Prologue)

Obviously, yes, he did.

Does Shakespeare describe places in his plays sometimes instead of leaving everything down to set as it was not always practical to use set?

Shakespeare frequently makes use of description for just this reason. The theatres in which his plays were performed, and even more so temporary venues as would be offered at court, allowed nothing by way of scenery. The set might consist of some simple furniture: a bed, a bench, a table. If, as way often the case, the audience was to imagine that the stage was the field before the walls of some city or other, they had to be told. The prologue to Henry V is an excellent example of Shakespeare's use of a description to set a scene.


How do you talk in Shakespeare?

You can not talk in shakespeare; it is not a language. The language Shakespeare wrote in was English. It is possible to imitate Shakespeare's style. Just read or watch a play and you should pick it up. Iambic pentameter, poetic devices, rhetorical devices, classical allusions, an extensive vocabulary, use of contractions different from those we are used to, and use (occasionally) of the archaic forms for the second person singular are some of the characteristics of his style.
