Awake/wake #2 (permalink) Sat Mar 18, 2006 11:11 am   Awake/wake
 

Hi,

There are two constructions here: wake up and be awake.

Wake up is simply stop sleeping as in: They always wake up early to catch the first train in the morning.

Be awake means simply not be asleep.

They were awake for a long time in the night because the wind and rain made such a loud noise.

The past forms of wake are woke and woken.

Hopeful of helping

Alan
