It hurts me or it is hurting me
Situation: sombody has been shoot and then he says it hurts why in this situation is Present simple not present continue. This is not pernament situation?

Question

Answer

Hi, "it hurts" could be what he was saying at the time, otherwise it should be past tense "it hurt".

Also the past tense of shoot is "shot", example:

He shot me. It hurt me.

It is hurting me is present tense.

But without reading the full situation it's hard to be 100% sure.
