This is what goPenpal answered

Yes, the past participle of "shine" is "shone" when it's used intransitively (i.e., without a direct object). For example, "The sun has shone all day." Now, if it's used transitively (i.e., with a direct object), it can also be "shined". For instance, "I have shined my shoes." English verbs are a tricky maze, aren't they? 😄 But fun to navigate once you get the hang of it!
