Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

Geoffrey Chaucer was an English author and poet, most famous for his "Canterbury Tales" that was written in Middle English. It was him who brought the Middle English to the fore, when the dominant languages of England during that time was still Latin and French. His English is also not the same with Old English and is known as the Middle English, that of around 1100 or 1400 AD in England. He is credited with the advent of this form of language with his "Canterbury Tales" becoming one of the most studied and read works of that period.
