When shine is intransitive (has no direct object), the past tense is shone. When shine is transitive (takes a direct object), the past tense is shined.

Another way of looking at it is that when the subject of the verb is shiny, the past tense is shone. When the object of the verb is shiny, the past tense is shined.

"The table shone after I shined it."

Thanks for proving me right myh :D

No, you're actually WRONG: but by all means allow a fellow #ignorantpedant to peddle your pedantic myth.

:D ;D

Your intrusive pedantry errs quite often #ignorantpedant ,  count your lucky stars that I point them up as infrequently as I actually and so evidently do! ;)
