(ii) I woked up from sleep

(iii) I was woken up from sleep

Which of the above sentences are grammatically CORRECT?

1. (ii) and (iii)
2. (i) and (ii)
3. (i) and (iii)
4. (i) and (iv)

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : (i) and (iii)

The correct answer is (i) and (iii).

Wake means to stop sleeping; to make somebody stop sleeping.

The three forms of the verb wake:

• Present - Wake.         
• Past - Woke.           
• Past participle -  Woken/ waked. 

 

​Thus, sentence (i) I woke up from sleep and sentence (iii) I was woken up from sleep is correct.

Hence, option (i) and (iii) follows.
