"Awake" is usually only used as an adjective, meaning the opposite of being asleep. The verb form of this word would be either "awake" or "awaken", but they both sound a bit old and aren't used very often. Ex: I'm going to awaken the dog before I go outside. I awoke after I fell from the bed. "Wake" just means to bring someone out of a sleep. Its usually used in the expression "wake up". Ex: My brother needs to wake up, he's been sleeping all day! I woke up at 7:30 this morning. "Wake (up)" and "awaken" mean the same thing, but the expression "wake up" is used almost always over "awaken"!

awake is the state of being awake. "I am awake now." "I was asleep, but now I am awake." wake is used to describe the action. "Go wake her" OR "Go wake her up" For example, you could say did I wake you, or did I wake you up, but you would not say did I awake you.

awake = a state your in, ie not sleeping... wake = is used when describing the action of waking up.. for example, "wake up", "you should wake up now", "i just woke up", "i woke up early".. etc..
