Sie (formal you / they)
Capitalized 'Sie' can mean formal 'you' (plural) or third‑person plural; context decides which.
werden + infinitive (future tense)
'werden' is conjugated for Sie (werden) and is followed by the infinitive 'überstehen' to form the future.
den Sturm (accusative)
'Sturm' is masculine; the definite article changes to 'den' in the accusative case.

✕Common Mistakes
sie werden den Sturm zusammen überstehen.
The pronoun must be capitalized when it means formal 'you' or 'they'.
Sie werden zusammen den Sturm überstehen.
With a separable verb, the prefix 'über' must go to the end of the clause.
Ihr werdet den Sturm zusammen überstehen.
Use 'Sie' for formal contexts; 'ihr' is informal and changes the verb form.

Cultural Tip
In German, using the formal 'Sie' shows respect, especially in professional or unfamiliar settings. If you’re speaking to friends or peers, you would switch to the informal 'ihr' (e.g., 'Ihr werdet den Sturm zusammen überstehen'). Also, note that separable verbs like 'überstehen' split in main clauses—the prefix moves to the sentence end.
