[Grammar] Simple Past vs Present Perfect

[DANAU]

Hi,

Can please tell me if the sentences below are correct:

My cousin visited Paris three times ( can this sentence stand alone or it is a must to include time reference like "last year" or " in 2019")

My cousin has visited Paris three times

I see Julie three times this week

I saw Julie three times last year

Hi,

Please tell me if the sentences below are correct:

My cousin visited Paris three times. (Can this sentence stand alone, or must I include a time reference like "last year" or "[no space]in 2019"?) You do not need to give a time.

My cousin has visited Paris three times.

I saw Julie three times this week.

I saw Julie three times last year.

See the corrections. Be careful! To be a sentence, the line must always end with a period, question mark, or exclamation point.

The sentences are fine as corrected.

The present perfect tense as used in 2 is more common and natural than 1.

The present tense used in 3 is more for a habitual action, as in three times a week.
