Learn English – “Show,” “shown,” and “showed”

past-participlesverbs

I need advice on the best use of the verb show.

When do you use showed?
I find myself substituting has shown, even when I meant to use the preterit in my sentence.

I prefer "she has shown" over "she has showed"; are there differences in phrasal verbs, such as "show up" or "show out"?

Do you ever use "shew" and its family?
