Agreed, Faldage. 'Shined' is transitive, 'shone' is intransitive. QED
There are other verbs which have one form for transitive and another for intransitive meanings. 'Lie" and 'Lay' come to mind, and they are two which have nearly lost the distinction between the two forms in modern USn usage.
Others, anyone?
