The correct spelling of the word is actually "shown" (ʃoʊn), not "shone to". Despite the similar pronunciation, "shone" (ʃoʊn) is the past participle of the verb "shine" while "shown" is the past participle of "show". This confusion may arise due to the fact that "shine" and "show" both have irregular past participles. To avoid misuse and confusion, it is important to understand the correct spelling and pronunciation of these commonly used words.
