Question

Chaucer was an important fourteenth century poet that helped shape what we think of Middle English. True or False?

Answer 1

i think it is false because Chaucer was the famous poet at that very time. If you answer the question as true you'll get it wrong.

Answer 2

This statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Geoffrey Chaucer is considered the father of Middle English. In the XIV century, French and Latin were the only languages used in literature in England and English was not that much considered. When Chaucer writes “The Canterbury Tales” legitimizes the use of English in literature. He is also known to be the first one to include English common words in his texts, for example, annoyance.
