What part of speech is awaken?

"Awaken" can be a few different parts of speech depending on how it's used:

* Verb: This is the most common usage. It means to cause someone or something to wake up from sleep.

* Example: "The rooster awakened me before dawn."

* Adjective: This is less common, but possible. It means being awake or alert.

* Example: "The awakened mind is eager to learn."

* Noun: This is the least common, but it can be used in a figurative sense.

* Example: "The awakening of the human spirit."

Therefore, without context, it's impossible to definitively say which part of speech "awaken" is. You need to look at the sentence it's used in to determine its role.
