Beeesneees,
What is the nuance of grammar for using the adverbs - just and right?
I’m not sure what you mean by asking about the ‘nuance of grammar for using the adverbs’, but these are the differences in their use above:
He just arrived after breakfast - probably indicates he suddenly and unexpectedly turned up after breakfast. ‘Right’ cannot be used in this sense.
(Here ‘just’ can be defined as ‘simply’ - He simply arrived… He was not expected, but he simply turned up.)
He arrived just/right after breakfast - he arrived very soon after breakfast was finished. ‘Right’ and ‘just’ are interchangeable.
