Help(please)
Hi, there
If I want to say I've been/went to the US three times in 2017, should I say "I've been to the US three times in the last year", "I've been to the US three times last year" or "I went to the US three times last year"?
And would you say "The economy shrunk or has shrunk 5% last year or in the last year"? (In 2017)
Thank you

Both "I've been to the US three times in the last year" and "I went to the US three times last year" are correct, but not "I've been to the US three times last year".
You would say "The economy has shrunk 5% in the last year" or alternatively "The economy shrank 5% last year"

Without "in" would be better, because the word "last" is being used here
