In addition to significantly affecting the English language, William Shakespeare, a creative genius, revolutionized English literature. Within the scope of this research paper, we investigate how Shakespeare contributed to the development of the English language by utilizing prose and poetry in novel ways. Shakespeare contributed importantly to expanding the English vocabulary by creating new words and improving grammatical norms. Not only did he give thorough descriptions through his mastery of language, similes, and vivid imagery, but he also influenced how English is spoken today. This study focuses on the significant contributions that Shakespeare made to the English language, which continue to have an impact in the 21st century.
