words

[puzzle]

I read from a grammar book that words like 'love','hate' can be used both in past form and present form without changing meaning. For expamle:
A,'Do you hate me?'
B,' I hate/hated you.'

Is it true? Please.

If you use them with 'used to', for example "I used to love you".
"I used to hate eating green vegetables when I was a child".

A,'Do you hate me?'
B,' I hated you.'

Does it mean that B doesn't hate A any more? Please.

A,'Do you hate me?'
B,' I hated you.'

Does it mean that B doesn't hate A any more? Please.

It means that B hated A in the past. B used to hate A.

A,'Do you hate me?'
B,' I hated you.'

Does it mean that B doesn't hate A any more? Please.

Probably, but you'd need to hear the intonation in B's voice.
Imagine / an increase in pitch, \ a decrease.
I / hated \ you. This would tend to mean B doesn't hate A any more.
I \ hated you _ could mean B still hates A (for something A did, and which B is referring to)
But your conversation would not occur in real life without some adverbs or other context.

I think Past Tense and Present Tense are completely different
"I hate you" means I hate you now or I have never liked you
"I hated you" means I used to hate you but now I don't hate you any more
