The correct sentence is: "She had shown me so much about love."
The grammatically correct sentence is: "She had shown me so much about love."
Here's how you can know which one is correct:
1. Understand the verb tense: In this case, the verb tense being used is the past perfect tense, which is indicated by the use of the auxiliary verb "had" followed by the past participle of the verb.
2. Form the past participle form of the verb: The past participle of the verb "show" is "shown."
3. Use the correct past participle form: In English, the past participle is used after auxiliary verbs like "had," "have," or "has." Therefore, the correct sentence should use the past participle form "shown."
So, the correct sentence is: "She had shown me so much about love."
