      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!       Alexander Koryagin       ENGLISH_TUTOR 2015              --- Paul's Win98SE VirtualBox        * Origin: Quinn's Post - Maryborough, Queensland, OZ (3:640/384)    |
