Saying how you feel: 我 + adjective + 了
Explanation
To say how you feel now, use 我 + adjective + 了: 我累了 (I'm tired), 我饿了 (I'm hungry), 我渴了 (I'm thirsty). The 了 says the feeling has come on: you weren't tired before, and now you are. To say you don't feel it, use 不 and leave out 了: 我不累 (I'm not tired). 非常 before an adjective says more than 很: 我非常饿 (I'm very hungry).
Examples
- 我累了.I'm tired.
- 我饿了.I'm hungry.
- 你渴了吗?Are you thirsty?
- 我不累.I'm not tired.

An action as the subject: 喝茶是我的爱好

An action can go at the very start of a sentence, just as it is: 喝茶是我的爱好 (drinking tea is my hobby). The verb doesn't change, and nothing else is added: 睡觉是我的爱好 (sleeping is my hobby).
Examples

- 学汉语是我的爱好.Learning Chinese is my hobby.
- 吃饭很好, 睡觉也很好.Eating is nice, and sleeping is nice too.
