How do you say good in shakespearean language?
There is no such language as "Shakespearean Language". Shakespeare wrote in English. If you check, you will find that he uses such common English words as "so" as often as anyone else who speaks English, and with the same meaning.
How has Shakespeare changed the English language?
His vocabulary was larger than the average person. An average person's vocabulary is 10,000 words-15,000 words if you are really smart. William Shakespeare's vocabulary was over 29,000 words!!!!
What did Shakespeare use to write his plays down?
Not Old English, which is a totally different language that neither you nor Shakespeare could comprehend. Nor even Middle English, which Chaucer wrote in, and which you and Shakespeare could understand if it were written, but neither could understand when spoken. No, Shakespeare wrote exclusively in Modern English. You could understand Shakespeare if he spoke to you, although you might think his accent made him sound a bit like a pirate. (The particular dialect of English he used is called Early Modern English)
What did William Shakespeare do that was important?
William Shakespeare wrote loads of plays, sonnets, ballads and poetry. Sonnets are sort of weird love poems. Ballads are miserable poems. Sonnets are poems written in a particular format, 16 lines from memory; they are not all love poems, whether weird or not. Ballads don't have to be miserable.
Why should Shakespeare be taught?
If it is worthwhile to teach people how to use the language effectively, it would be foolish not to have a look at the greatest writer ever in the English language. Shakespeare's work is so important to us culturally that the numerous allusions made to it in popular culture would go right over the head of someone who has not been exposed to Shakespeare, and they would miss a lot of what is going on. That being said, unfortunately there are many teachers out there who think that a course on Shakespeare should be called "Why You Should Hate Shakespeare". They put a lot of effort into getting students to look at Shakespeare's plays as badly written and incomprehensible novels, to be afraid of his language (and then to offer "No Fear" versions with the language stripped away), and to use strange and artificial concepts like "tragic hero", "Freytag's Pyramid", and "hubris" to confuse them as to what is really happening. Such teaching methods do more harm than good.
Who made verbs?
A verb in the English language is used to describe a state of being. Shakespeare created over 1700 words in the English language. He is credited for changing nouns to verbs.
What are some of the contributions of English writer Samuel Johnson?
