1) The correct word here is "shone," which is the past tense form of "shine." "Shown" is the participle of "to show," which means "to display" (1 pt.)

2) "Led" is the past tense form of "to lead." "Lead" is a noun that refers an element of The Periodic Table that is commonly mistaken for the active ingredient in a pencil. (1 pt.)

3) The past tense form of "to lie" is "lay" [Today the animals lie on the bed. Yesterday the animals lay on the bed.] (1 pt.)

4 The thrifts refers to a general class of stores known as thrift shops. One could possibly capitalize this if one envisions a particualr store named "Thrifts." (1 pt.)
