What part of speech is the word spoken?

The word "spoken" can be two different parts of speech depending on how it's used in a sentence:

* Past participle: When used to describe something that has been said or uttered, it acts as an adjective. For example: "He gave a *spoken* warning."

* Past tense verb: When used to describe the action of speaking, it acts as a verb. For example: "She *spoken* to her manager."

To determine the part of speech, you need to consider the context of the sentence.
