用法筆記

This is the past participle form of 'show', used with auxiliary verbs. The simple past form is 'showed' (e.g., 'She showed me the photo yesterday'). In British English, 'shown' is the standard past participle; 'showed' is occasionally used in informal American English, but 'shown' is preferred in formal writing everywhere.

常見錯誤

I have showed him the report yesterday.
I showed him the report yesterday.
'showed' is the simple past, not the past participle. Use 'showed' without an auxiliary verb for a completed past action.
The results have been showed to the team.
The results have been shown to the team.
After 'have been' you need the past participle 'shown', not the simple past 'showed'.
