Dear Anonymous:
As Philip rightly points out, we need the context (the sacrosanct word!) to help with such queries. Besides, the question itself is too curtailed to merit a detailed reply. Nonetheless, there you go: "the past tense is shrank, or sometimes shrunk, and the participle shrunk or shrunken, the latter being adjectival." Many thanks to Sidney Greenbau
