Grammar notes[]
стрелять, выстрелить, попасть[]
~The imperfective-perfective verb pair "cтрелять/выстрелить", which means "to shoot", can be used in many ways. Some of these uses are:
- to shoot (from) something: стрелять из лука (shoot (from) a bow), стрелять из пушки (shoot (from) a cannon).
- to shoot a target (and not specifying the part that got hit): Он выстрелил в меня! (He shot me!).
- to shoot a target (and specifying the part that got hit): Он выстрелил мне в ухо. (He shot me in my ear.).
- to fire at a target: Они стреляют по нам. (They are firing at us.)
~ The verb pair "попадать/попасть", on the other hand, means "to hit". It can be also be used the same way as the third use of стрелять/выстрелить mentioned above.
- Стрела попала в дерево/землю/яблоко. (The arrow hit a tree/the ground/an apple.)
- Она выстрела в меня = Она попала в меня
