Probably, you aren't defining the working "region". See command
g.region.

Example: g.region -a vect=secondTry at PERMANENT res=10 -p

This command will define the working region by the spatial extent of
"secondTry", defining and aligning a 10 meters resolution with the
region extent and printing the result.

I strongly suggest the book  OPEN SOURCE GIS - A GRASS GIS Approach, 3rd
edition.
