Did someone else write all of William Shakespeare's works?
Shakespeare didn't write most of his work down, and was transcribed by spectators of the audience who wrote down what was happening. But Shakespeare is the author of his works, but probably did join with other writers.
Why did William Shakespeare only write poems and plays?
He wrote song lyrics too; does that count? Some people write poetry for fun or to express their thoughts and feelings. Shakespeare was one. Sonnets were a form he liked. He did not write very many short verses that were not sonnets. Everything else he wrote, he wrote to make money. He was in an acting company; they needed plays; he could write them. They did not need recipes or sermons or epitaphs or anything apart from plays, so plays is what he wrote.

How was William Shakespeare Entertained?
Shakespeare was entertained the same as anyone else, when he had time.
Did Shakespeare actually write the plays that everyone thinks he did?
All of the evidence we have goes to say that he did. That is to say, all of the plays were published either without an author's name or with Shakespeare's name on them, and never with anyone else's name. They were exclusively performed by theatrical companies of which the actor William Shakespeare was a member, and were published by members of that company. Records of the same plays being played at court and elsewhere credit William Shakespeare with having written them. And never anyone else. On the other hand there is no evidence that anyone other than William Shakespeare of Stratford, the actor with the King's Men, wrote those plays. Nobody ever credits them to anyone else. There was nobody else by the name of William Shakespeare that we know of and nobody else called Shakespeare who was a writer. People did not write plays under a pseudonym in those days, and nobody at that time ever suggested that "William Shakespeare" was a pseudonym. You may say that is not absolute proof. Perhaps not, but absolute proof is not required for anything which we regularly accept as true. The proof that Shakespeare did indeed write what he is credited with is more than sufficient for us to accept it as fact.
