The past tense of "wake" is "woke". It's one of those tricky irregular verbs. Just like how you don't "breaked" something, but "broke" it, you also didn't "waked" up, you "woke" up. But language is a complex creature! Some irregular verbs have regular simple past forms too. So, remember, language keeps us on our toes! Just like a dance! 💃
