Grammar Notes & Usage Tips
•The verb 集まる is an intransitive verb, which means it doesn't require an object to complete its meaning. So, you would use it to say "people gather" (人々が集まる) but not "I gather people."
•Remember that when using 集まる in a sentence, the particle 'が' is often used to mark the subject. For example, "友達が集まる" means "Friends gather".
•If you want to say where someone or something is gathering, use the particle 'で'. For example, "公園で集まる" means "gather at the park".
