Du and Sie

Du and sie are used in two different ways in a German sentence even though they both mean you. Du is the kind of you that would be used with your friends in a more relaxed setting. Were as sie would be used in a more business setting like work or in a school when a student is talking to an adult. This idea is sometimes difficult for non German speakers to grasp specially English speakers learning German. It might seem that the Germans are being overly respectful to one another. Which in some case is true but this isn't that uncommon in other languages either.This method in English can be shown when someone uses Mr. or Mrs. when talking to someone that deserves more respect unlike just talking to some of your buddies. German speakers though aren't allows as formal they do in certain situations like after they have been working together for awhile will allow the other person to say du(informal) to them. This usually happens when they want to be friendly and not make it as serious as by speaking in the formal sense all the time. English speakers do have something like this too, for example when someone says they can call them by there first name instead of Mr./Mrs. and last name.
