Explicación:

Already - significa en español “ya” y normalmente va en oraciones afirmativas. Se usa entre have/has y el participio del verbo.

Just - Cuando queremos expresar  “acabar de - en inglés se usa el presente perfecto con Just entre have/has y el participio pasado del Verbo.

Yet - El adverbio yet puede entenderse como lo contrario de already, en el sentido de que usándolo estaremos expresando que aún no hemos acabado una acción. Se traduce por aún o todavía. En cuanto a su colocación, yet irá al final de la frase y lo usaremos en oraciones negativas y preguntas.

Since - Si la acción sigue en curso, para especificar desde cuando sucede, usaremos únicamente since seguido de la fecha o del momento. Cuando usamos since el verbo principal está en presente perfecto: I've been here since 2 o' clock.

For - La preposición “for” se usa para expresar la duración de una acción, el periodo de una acción o un evento. Por ejemplo: “I've lived here for 8 months”. He vivido aquí durante 8 meses.
