Words Contributed by Shakaspeare

William Shakespeare has contributed more then 1700 words to the English language all the way from academe to zany. He created most of these words that are now the most common words that are used today, by adding two words together, that no one would think of putting together, or by changing a noun to a verb or a verb to an adjective. He also was able to make up his own words. Shakespeare also made up many of the common phrases we use to day. With these words he used them in his plays like Love's Labours Lost and King Henry VI.
