Explanation:

• For is used to indicate a period of time. It answers the question "how long?" For example, "for five years," "for a long time," and "for twelve hours."

• Since is used to indicate the starting point of an action or situation. It is used with specific points in time. For example, "since she was ten years old," "since last year," and "since we were at primary school."

• Just is used to indicate a very recent action. It means "a short time ago." For example, "has just made his bed" and "has just brought me some coffee."

• Already is used to indicate that something has happened sooner than expected or sooner than it might have happened. For example, "We have already met the new teacher."

• Yet is used in negative sentences and questions to indicate that something has not happened up to the present time. For example, "hasn't come back yet" and "hasn't called his girlfriend yet."

Understanding these distinctions can help in constructing sentences that are clear and grammatically correct in English.
