happy comedies, problem plays, romantic comedies.
In the First Folio, all of Shakespeare's plays were divided into Comedies, Tragedies and Histories. Although it is not always easy to place some of the plays in these three categories (and Shakespeare was well aware that they could mix and overlap and be involved with the category of the Pastoral), the division seems to have stuck.
Shakespeare wrote 18 comedies. The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Measure for Measure and Cymbeline are three of them.
It depends what you mean by "romantic comedies". Most of Shakespeare's comedies are romantic in nature and end in weddings all around. Some of his late comedies are called "romances" and they end in reconciliations and reunifications all around instead of weddings.
Shakespeare wrote As You Like It and Merchant of Venice.
No, he wrote comedies and histories as well.
