just-comes before the main verb
already- comes before the main verb
yet-comes at the end
I’ve just had lunch. (=I’m full)
She’s already repaired the computer. (=you can use it now, it works)
I haven’t done my homework, yet. (=I still have to do my homework)

• 
  Present Perfect is used to say if something happened or been done during the time which started in the past and continued till now. Our lives also started in the past and continued till now. So, if we say whether someone has done or hasn’t done something in their lives we use Present Perfect. Signal words:
  

ever- comes before the main verb
never- comes before the main verb
Have you repaired my car? (since the time I brought it to you until now)
I’ve never sailed in the sea. (in my life)
Have you ever lost your passport? (in your life)

• 
  The Present Perfect is used to say how long an action continued till now. Signal words:
  

how long-is a question word
since-is the starting point
for- is the duration
How long have you worked here?
I’ve been learning English for ages.
I’ve known my best friend since I was a child.

• 
  The Present Perfect is used with unfinished time expressions: today/this week/this month…
  

I’ve written ten pages today.

• 
  The Present Perfect is used to give news about recent happenings, but if we continue the conversation we use past tenses. Signal words:
  

recently- comes at the end
so far- comes at the end

• 
  You know, she has recently bought a new car.
  
• 
  Really? What kind of car did she buy?
