    ***** Usage notes

    - The past participle _shown_ was uncommon before the 19th century, but is now the preferred form in standard English. In the UK, _showed_ is regarded as archaic or dialectal. In the US, it is considered a standard variant form, but _shown_ is more common. _Garner's Modern American Usage_ favors _shown_ over _showed_ as past participle and claims it is mandatory for passives. - In the past, [en] was used as a past-tense form and [en] as a past participle of this verb; both forms are now archaic.
