Sie as formal "you" (singular or plural) always takes the third-person plural verb form. As a third-person pronoun (she/they), context determines the meaning: o refers to a single feminine person or thing, onlar to multiple people or things. Learners often confuse the formal Sie with the lowercase sie (she/they).
