Did people really talk the way Shakespeare wrote? Why or why not? Why did he write the way he did? Provide detail!

It is partially true that people talked the way Shakespeare had wrote. Back then people did not speak in blank verse and since it was a play their speech was exaggerated. However, it is true that people did use vocabulary like “Thy” and “Thine”.
