What is the correct use of woken?

Answer 1

Awoken most certainly is a word; it comes from the old English verb "awake" and it means woken up, or made awake. The correct usage is anywhere that it could be replaced by "woken up".

'awoken' is the passive voice form of 'awoke' (past tense of the verb 'awake'). for instance, you can say "I awoke to the sound of dogs barking" or "I was awoken by the sound of dogs barking". in modern US English, awoken is a bit archaic - normally we'd say 'awakened' instead.

Answer 2

The word woken is the past participle of the verb 'to wake'; to emerge from sleep or a state like sleep, a stupor, or a trance; to become active or animated; to become alert or aware. Example sentence:

I've woken to reality, I can't afford a new car without a new job.

Answer 3

Both are correct. Woken is the chiefly British past participle of wake.

Answer 4

I was woken up is the correct use of woken.

Answer 5

No-awoke, wakened

Answer 6

Awakened
