First of all inspect the roof and determine where are the damaged shingles. You will need to repair those as they may cause further damage to your roof. You can use a new asphalt shingle and glue it to the torn one. You can also use a larger shingle to cover up and overlap the tear in the shingle. Use a putty knife to cut the piece. To create a tight bond between the pieces, you can use some glue. Press on the shingles and wait for the glue to dry.
