Yes. Here is the second commoner in Act 1 Scene 1:

"Truly sir, all that I live by is with the awl; I meddle with no tradesman's matters, nor women's matters, but will awl. I am, indeed, sir, a surgeon to old shoes: when they are in great danger, I recover them."

What's the quick way to tell if it's verse or prose? Prose is written in the same way I am writing now, all in one continuous paragraph.

In verse you find a different kind of style:

When syllables ten have passed the poet's pen,

A new line starts with upper case letter

So when with upper case he starts each line,

You know it's verse. It is not prose this time.

Did Julius Caesar Speak Greek?

Julius Caesar spoke Latin. He is also known for the excellence of his Latin prose, which is still read by students of Latin today. He would have delivered speechesand written in Latin but Latin was considered a second 'formal' language even then. Amongst friends and family he would have spoken a kind of lower, colloquial Latin more like modern Italian. Unfortunately, we know very little of this language (not surprising considering as it was almost entirely non-written) what we do know is mainly gathered from graffiti!

Shakespeare distinguished commoners from noblemen in this play by having commoners speak in?

Commoners usually spoke in prose, noblemen in blank verse. Verse sounds loftier, even if you are not talking about lofty things, e.g. I think I will down to the kitchen go And rustle up some breakfast for myself; Bacon, eggs and hash browns lightly fried, Orange juice and coffee in a mug.

As Flavius and Marullus are from a higher social order as tribunes, it is when the tribunes and commoners all gather to see Caesar and rejoice in his triumph over Pompey that a conflict erupts between the tribunes and commoners and the commoners are referred to as knaves, blocks and stones.
