Shakespeare created words through various methods, including combining existing words, altering their forms, and using prefixes or suffixes. He often played with language by modifying nouns into verbs or vice versa, as well as inventing entirely new words to fit the rhythm and rhyme of his poetry. Additionally, he borrowed from various languages, including Latin and French, to expand his vocabulary. This inventive use of language contributed significantly to the richness of his works and the English language.

How did William Shakespeare change peoples ideas?

He didn't, really. Some highly pretentious authors, like Harold Bloom, have claimed that he did, but what Bloom is claiming is that Shakespeare invented Victorian literary criticism, which is not only ridiculous but impossible. With Shakespeare, people take their own ideas to the plays and find them reflected there and articulated better than they could articulate them themselves. Shakespeare, in his own words, "holds the mirror up to nature" but he does not create nature. He did not create Harold Bloom's Victorian outlook on literature, but when Bloom looks at Shakespeare, he finds his outlook reflected back to him, and imagines that Shakespeare must have invented it.
