The past participle form of the verb 'tear' is 'torn'. Now, when you use the verb 'tear' in sentences, it can get a bit tricky, because this verb is irregular, and doesn't follow the normal pattern where you add '-ed' or '-d' to form the past and past participle forms. So, instead of 'teared', we say 'tore' for past simple, and 'torn' for past participle. It's kind of like the difference between a tame housecat and a wild tiger, they're both cats, but they don't behave the same way. Just like 'tear' doesn't behave the same way as regular verbs. And this is why language can be so exciting and unpredictable!
