Hate is an action verb. Although there are action verbs that are sometimes being used as linking verbs such as;
feel
taste
look
smell
appear
grow
remain
stay
turn
seem
sound
become
prove
It depends upon the usage. Here's an example:
*The dog looked hungry.
*The dog looked for food.
[The verb 'Looked' on the first sentence is a linking verb, whereas,
it was used as an action verb on the second.]
