Answer:

His works contributed significantly to the standardization of grammar, spelling, and vocabulary. Shakespeare introduced 1,700 original words into the language, many of which we still use (despite significant changes to the language since Shakespeare's time).

Step-by-step explanation:

He has contributed most remarkable tragedies and comedies of all time such as As You Like It, Merchant of Venice, Hamlet, King Lear, Macbeth, Othello, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, All well That Ends Well, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Twelfth Night, and many more
