When do I use alla and when do I use alli.

I realize that alli is masculine and alla is feminine but how do I decide when to use each word. For example: go there would that be vas alla or vas alli. The same goes for aqui and aqua.

allí - there (away from the speaker/ or more near the listener) allá- way over there (away from both speaker and listener) aquí- here (in this general vicinity) acá- here (but i think acá implies movement... like "venga acá"/ come here.)
