What is the passive form of sentence?
What is the passive form of such sentences; I
- enjoy watching TV. I
- don’t like playing football.
Could
- someone just tell me I don’t want to play football?
- I want to drink tea. What are some good ways to do it?
In normal sentences usually, you simply move the object to the subject of the passive sentence and then you use the passive form of the verb ( eg: I love a => guy => I love him ) but in this case, I have no idea.
My passive form would be like these:
TV watching is enjoyable.
Football is still played by people, but not like…

If I live in India, drink tea is not wanted/desired. I don’t know why people drink tea, tea is not necessary.
They are all very unusual. In general, we don’t use the passive voice for verbs of emotion or perception such as want, like, desire, think, enjoy, etc. But there are exceptions. — is there someone who wrote this? What kind of sentence sounds fine in a formal context?
Original answer, for general interest
“Being watched” is the passive of “watching” and “being played” is the passive of “playing”, but neither really works in this context. With verbs like “enjoy” or “like”, you would need an activity where you are the object of the gerund. I enjoy

else singing to me I enjoy being sung to (by someone) I enjoy someone
else’s sung to me It’s not like a cooking for myself, it’s like another person singing to me I enjoy being sung to (by someone) I like someone else singing to me or sung to me I enjoy being sung (by someone) and I can’t
