In "nǐ zài nǎ lǐ gōng zuò?" and "nǐ zhù zài nǎ lǐ?" why is the "nǎ lǐ" before "gōng zuò" but after "zhù zài"
and how can I improve my spoken Chinese?

Answer 1

nali is placed after ordinary verbs or verb phrases but after directory verbs,such as 'qu nali,lai nali,shang nali?
However,people do say:ni nali qu?for poetic purposes,so you may hear this kind of way of saying more in songs or proses than in ordinary conversations.
Hope that helps.
