Verb‑second (V2) word order
In main clauses the finite verb occupies the second position; the question word ‘Wo’ counts as the first element, so ‘treffen’ comes right after it.

Cultural Tip
In German schools, clubs (AGs – ‘Arbeitsgemeinschaften’) often meet in designated ‘AG‑Räume’ or the school’s ‘Gemeinschaftsraum’. Some clubs, like sports teams, may use the gymnasium, while music or theater groups use specialized rooms. Knowing the typical locations helps you understand why a student might say, ‘Wir treffen uns im Musikraum.’
