Q

Another strong verb is essen (to eat). Not only does essen have a vowel change, but the du form is the same as the er / sie / es form. (This is because issst with three S’s would look strange.)

essen (to eat)
ich esse
du isst (not issst)
er isst
sie isst
es isst
wir essen
ihr esst
sie essen
Sie essen
