BrE = British English | NAmE = North American English
Already and yet are usually used with the present perfect tense, but in NAmE they can also be used with the simple past tense: I already did it. | Did you eat yet?
However, this is much more common in spoken than in written English and some Americans do not consider it acceptable, even in speech. The present perfect is more common in NAmE and almost always used in BrE: I’ve already done it. | Have you eaten yet?
Just is mostly used with the perfect tenses in BrE and with the simple past in NAmE: I’ve just had some bad news. (BrE) | I just go some bad news. (NAmE)
