Hi, All!   
      
   Brown's "The Da VinciCode":   
      
   -----Beginning of the citation-----   
   CHAPTER 3   
   The crisp April air whipped through the open window of the Citro«n ZX as it   
   skimmed south past the Opera House and crossed Place Vendome. In the passenger   
   seat, Robert Langdon felt the city tear past him as he tried to clear his   
   thoughts.   
   ----- The end of the citation -----   
      
   Is "tear" a verb? Should it be "teared" then? Or at least "tears"?   
      
   Bye, All!
