用法How to use 集合
集合 means "to gather; to assemble": people come together at a place, often as a group plan or order. In everyday use it often has no object; a place phrase with 在/到 comes before 集合, and time expressions normally come before the verb. It can also modify nouns in combinations like 集合时间 and 集合地点 (the time/place to assemble).
