What four different types of play did Shakespeare write?

When the First Folio was published in 1623, the plays were divided into Histories, Comedies and Tragedies. The histories were plays drawn from the chronicles of English history. The tragedies were plays where the main character (and usually a lot more) end up dead at the end. The rest were called comedies. Later scholars think that the late comedies Pericles, The Winter's Tale, The Tempest and Cymbeline with their darker themes (not unlike the "tragicomedies" being written by Beaumont and Fletcher at the time) and stories of the reunification of shattered families formed a group, which are called "Romances".
