When you use it be sure that you realize that it is non-standard and that you are doing so deliberately. It is improper but English slang is improper by definition. She is woke is slang from the American South and has been widely used by speakers and writers in the US for decades, if not longer. This is what is meant by the expression woke. What about the adjectival use of woke? If Fowler is to be believed, then the correct form would be I have been awakened. Fowler’s usage still seems like a good baseline from which to start. The third edition (1996) of Fowler’s Modern English Usage seems more ambivalent about the correct usage than Fowler himself was nearly a century ago. (6) Up is very commonly appended to wake, rarely to waken, and never to awake and awaken. forms of the latter pair it wakened me is rare for it woke or waked me, but I was wakened by it is common for I was waked for woke or woken by it see also the alternative forms in (3) above. (5) In the passive, awaken and waken are often preferred to awake and wake, perhaps owing to uncertainty about the p.p. (4) Waken and awaken tend to be restricted to the transitive sense when he wakens is rarer for when he wakes than that will waken him for that will wake him. (2) Wake alone has (and that chiefly in waking) the sense be or remain awake ( Sleeping or waking In our waking hours.) (3) Awake and awaken are usually preferred to the others in figurative senses ( When they awoke, or were awakened, to their danger This at once awakened suspicion The national spirit awoke or was awakened A rude awakening). waked, rarely woke or woken awaken and waken have -ed.ĭistinction between the forms is difficult but with regard to modern usage certain points may be made: (1) Wake is the ordinary work verb ( You will wake the baby Something woke me up I should like to waked by 7:30 Wake the echoes), for which the others are substituted to add dignity or formality or to suit the metre as in (3) or (5) below. ![]() awaked sometimes awoken and rarely awoke woke has past woke, rarely (and that usually in transitive sense) waked, and p.p. In 1922, Henry Fowler, A Dictionary of Modern English Usage (Oxford: Oxford University Press), wrote:Īwake has past awoke, rarely awaked, and p.p. So, there are two questions to answer when using forms of wake or awake: which tense is intended and is the verb being used transitively or intransitively? Grammarians disagree as to whether we should assign awake solely to the intransitive category and wake to the transitive. Intransitive: She returned for more instruction. Transitive: He returned the book to the library. By the way, return may be used transitively or intransitively. Now, let us return to wake, woke, woken ( awake, awoke, awoken). The intransitive use requires a preposition. It may be used transitively, e.g., She runs the company or intransitively, She runs for her health. An intransitive verb needs a preposition to transfer the action to the object. The action is transferred from Joe, the subject of the verb, to the ball, which is the object of the verb. Joe ht the ball or The ball was hit by Joe both use a transitive verb ( to hit). Ed Good’s article on (despite the blizzard of annoying ads) is helpful. A transitive verb may be passive or active. The action or a property is transferred from the subject to the object. As I understand it, a transitive verb does something to a direct object. I have struggled with this since Bob Gorman first tried to explain it to me in 1982. Its conjugation is the same but some grammarians take it as a different kind of verb than wake. Here we must distinguish between the transitive and intransitive. Then there is the close relative, awaken. Woken (perfect) She had awoken earlier that morning. Wake (present): It is time to wake up and smell the coffee. The widespread use of woke, the past tense of wake, as an adjective is ungrammatical but there are other issues with the use of forms of wake. ![]()
