EN:She texted me, "Just woke up, sorry I missed your call."

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Wake"?Which "Wake" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I wake up at 7 o'clock.
✓I wake up at 7 o'clock every day.
「wake up」描述的是瞬間的動作，單獨使用過去式或現在式時，通常需要上下文（如頻率副詞、時間狀語）來表明是習慣性動作，否則聽起來不自然。
×She woke me up the baby.
✓She woke the baby up. / She woke up the baby.
當受詞是名詞時，片語動詞「wake up」的受詞可以放在「up」之前或之後。但當受詞是代名詞（如 me, him, it）時，必須放在「wake」和「up」之間（如 wake me up）。原句結構錯誤。
×I will wake you at 6 AM.
✓I will wake you up at 6 AM.
在表示「喚醒某人」這個完整動作時，口語中更常使用片語動詞「wake up」。單獨使用「wake」雖然文法正確，但較為正式或文學化，學習者使用「wake up」更自然且不易出錯。
×I was woken up by a strange dream.
✓I woke up because of a strange dream.
「wake up」強調主語自己醒來的動作。雖然「be woken up」用於被外部事物吵醒是被動語態的正確用法，但「夢」通常是內在的、主觀的體驗，用「woke up because of...」或「was awakened by...」更符合邏輯與慣用法。
×I need to wake up early tomorrow.
✓I need to get up early tomorrow.
「wake up」指的是從睡眠狀態轉為清醒的「瞬間動作」。而「get up」指的是醒來後「起床、離開床」的動作。想表達「明天要早起（起床）」，應該使用「get up」。混淆兩者會導致語意不精確。
