| William Shakespeare, the donator of words to English |
In every language vocabulary, coupled with other rules of grammar,
plays major role in producing an effective piece of writing. Apart from that,
using different –yet appropriate – words make a person a brilliant and
persuasive speaker. The more a person is good in playing with the words is the
more in convincing people to his contentions. The same principle applies to
English language as well. We very often, while speaking or writing words, do
not realize who and how the very word came into existence. As a matter of fact,
words and languages came into existence after an evolution process. Many men ofletter make their contribution in enriching any language with a waste treasure
of words. Among these great people, William Shakespeare has invented more than
100 words in English language and many of these words are the most common in
usage. In the following we have selected these 15 words for which Shakespeare
is credited with invention and which are the most common in use, if not indispensable
for the language. Have a look at these words and pay gratitude to Shakespeare
for these –and many more – words. You will, then, realize that Shakespeare did not only contributed English literature with his magnificent dramas but he also contributed significantly to the treasure of vocabulary.

| A Beautiful Landscape with lights of Dawn making their way to Earth through trees |
With pouring light across the horizons, dawn is the symbol of hope and indication of light after darkness, happiness and joy followed by every moment of sorrow and grief, easement and flexibility after every hardship and difficulty. Every sunset, which spreads darkness and deep silence in the night, and sunrise which showers lights with beautiful tweeting songs the next morning give lesson that only change is consistent. William Shakespeare is credited to invent the very word ‘dawn’ which represents the beautiful morning sun rays that overcome the dark night. In his masterpiece play, Henry V –which is tells the story of the King Henry V of England who ruled the United Kingdom of Great Britain during 1413 to 1422 –, Shakespeare quotes the king to say;
"Who with a body fill'd and vacant mind gets him to rest, cramm'd with distressful bread; never sees horrid night, the child of hell, but, like a lackey, from the rise to set sweats in the eye of Phoebus and all night Sleeps in Elysium; next day after dawn,"
