Which British playwright had a great influence on the English language and invented many words that are still common today?
Correct Answer: William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare not only wrote extraordinary plays and sonnets — he profoundly shaped the English language.
He is credited with inventing or popularising hundreds of words still used today, including bedroom, eyeball, lonely, obscene, and expressions such as break the ice and heart of gold. No other writer has had such a lasting influence on how English is spoken.
