In Activity 2, apart from German words for certain food and drink, you also heard two important verbs: essen (to eat) and trinken (to drink). Trinken is a regular verb. You might already be familiar with the verb forms in the present tense, but in Table 1, there is a quick reminder.

The verb essen, however, is slightly irregular. Like some other irregular verbs – for example sprechen (to speak) or fahren (to travel) – you can see that there is a vowel change in the 2nd and 3rd person singular.
