present tense?

[kahhong]

Hello,

If i ask someone this question "who pays it?"

is it the same with he shots me?
it means that action is repeated?

thank

Both example sentences share the same grammatical structure:

Subject + Verb + Object
1) Who pays it?
2) He shot me.

The first sentence, given additional context, could express a repeated act, not action:

1) Who usually pays it? Max usually pays (i.e., Max has paid more than one in the past.)

The second sentence, again with addition context, could express a repeated act:

2) He shot me over and over again.

But "shot", on its own, cannot express repetition.
