Hello, luzmtv—and welcome to English Forums. Those adverbs are most commonly associated with present perfect, but they also appear with other perfect aspect verb forms and (in AmE) with simple past. Why don't you try composing a few sentences?

Example:
I hear you are looking for a new apartment. Have you found one ___?(alredy/yet/still) .
No, and we are getting discouraged. We have______(alredy/yet/still) looked at more that 10, and we ________(alredy/yet/still) haven't found one that we like.
how to know when to use each one of these?

'Yet' is usually (but not always) used for negative statements and questions
'Already' is usually (but not always) used for affirmative statements.
'Already' and 'yet' generally apply to point events: Has he left yet? He has already left / He hasn't left yet.
'Still' generally applies to a length of time, not a point event: He has still not left; he is still here
