Говаорят, что слово " yet" употребляется только с present perfect / present perfect continuous. Но вот случай, говорят " I’m not ready yet" тут как бы present simple. Или "are we there yet?" я понимаю, что в разговоре нарушают правила грамматики иногда, но как тогда написать правильно? Или есть определенные исключения? Или я говорю неправильно?

У Yet есть несколько случаев употребления. Первые 2 употребляются чаще всего и обычно только их объясняют в школах
1. В  отрицательных предложениях (обычно с present perfect) со значением "ещё не". Yet ставится в конце предложения. Пример: She hasn’t arrived yet - Она ЕЩЁ НЕ приехала
2. В вопросительных предложениях (обычно с present perfect) со значением "уже". Пример: Has she arrived yet? Она УЖЕ приехала?
3. Yet может также использоваться в утвердительных предложениях со значением "ещё". Очень часто здесь используется именно Present Simple. Примеры: There’s plenty of time yet - ещё полно времени; We have a lot more work to do yet - Нам предстоит ещё много работы
4. Часто yet используется в предложениях с превосходной формой со значением "до сих пор". It’s her fastest marathon yet - Это её самый быстрый марафон 
5. Также  yet может выступать в роле союза. Значение схоже с "but" и "nevertheless"(но, тем не менее)
It felt strange and yet so wonderful to ski in the summer - Заниматься лыжным спортом летом было странно, но тем не менее замечательно

Какая разница между present perfect и Past Simple?

Past Simple (простое прошедшее) - прошедшее время, действие которого закончилось в прошлом.
I played with my sister yesterday.
Я играл со своей сестрой вчера.
Используется:
1. Когда действие началось и закончилось в прошлом.
2. Когда действие прошло и не сможет больше повториться (город был основан. )
3. Слова-подсказки: ago, yesterday, last, и какой-то год.
I have played with my sister this evening.
Я играл с сестрой этим вечером.
Present Perfect (настоящее совершенное) - показывает, что действие началось в прошлом и ещё не закончилось/закончилось в момент речи/ имеет связь с настоящим.
Используется:
1. Когда действие началось в прошлом, но неважно точное время. Я была в Италии много раз в последнее время.
2. Слова-подсказки: today, ever, never, just, already, yet, this, since, recently.
3. Действие произошло в прошлом и ещё не закончилось/ может повториться.
