"Showed" would be best here, thus:

We both agree that:

is the correct usage.

Yesterday i have shown you the way how to do this particular thing.
This is the correct form; show, showed, shown. "Shown" is the past participle which we use with "have" to form the present perfect.

Dear brettworld:

As bhaisahab says, 'shown' is the past participle of the verb 'to show.'
Some examples are:

She has shown her paintings in several galleries.
(Contrast this with, 'Last year she showed her work in several galleries.')

After he had shown me the way, I never felt lost.
(Contrast with, 'After he showed me the way, I never felt lost.)

That old story has shown up on the Internet every few months for ten years.
(Contrast with, 'That old story showed up on the Internet again last week.')

I hope this is helpful,

Petra
