(hey, I don't think of the big bear:D) Born “Born” is used as an adjective. It means brought forth by or brought into life by birth as a baby from a woman’s womb. For example, The child was born at dawn...ect. Examples of "borne" “Borne” is the main past participle of the verb or word “bear.” For example, One must have borne in mind the following points while writing.

It is also used when the verb is active and is followed always by the preposition “by,” for example, The triplets were borne by a Russian mother. “Borne” refers to being supported, carried, or transmitted.
