Key Differences
"Shot" can be a noun describing the act of shooting, capturing a moment either through a camera or firearm. In contrast, "shoot" is primarily used as a verb, signifying the action of taking a shot, whether it's shooting a film or firing a gun.
"Shot" also serves as a past tense of "shoot", referring to the action after it has occurred, whereas "shoot" can suggest an ongoing or future action.
In photography, "shot" refers to a single photographic image, capturing a specific moment or scene. On the other hand, "shoot" in this context can refer to the entire session or process of taking multiple photographs.
In medical and colloquial terms, "shot" is used to describe an injection, such as a flu shot, indicating a single dose administered. Conversely, "shoot" has no equivalent use in medical contexts, highlighting its specific linguistic boundaries.
Sports also use both terms distinctively; "shot" can describe an attempt to score, like in basketball or soccer, while "shoot" often instructs the action of making that attempt.
