i showed her the other day vs i shows her the other day

The correct phrase is 'I showed her the other day.' The verb 'showed' should be used in the past tense to match the time frame indicated by 'the other day.' 'Shows' is incorrect in this context.

i showed her the other day

This phrase is used to talk about an action that was completed in the past, specifically on a day that is not today.
