   Hi, Paul Quinn!   
   I read your message from  15.07.2015 04:22   
   about Tear.   
      
    ak>> Is "tear" a verb? Should it be "teared" then? Or at least "tears"?   
      
    PQ> How do you end up with a torn piece of paper, for example.  It must have   
    PQ> gone through a tear process.  A typical usage could be, "I could try to   
    PQ> tear out a page from the phone book or use my pocket knife to do a   
    PQ> neater job of it".   
      
   As for the verb's form I just forgot the rule (although I've already the asked   
   here a similar question). In short, you omit "to" from the Infinitive if it is   
   used after the verb of perception.   
      
   Bye, Paul!
