Buongiorno!!
I have learned how to express what happened in the certain past time in Italian. It seems that we have two ways to state the past tense in Italian. One is to use" essere＋past participle". But in this way, the ending of the past participle is uncertain, that means the past participle forms might be different in order to have the concordance with the subject. The other way is to use "avere＋past participle" to indicate that a certain action happened in the past. I think it a little easier to remember because the past participle is certain and no need to change.
Here are the sentences I made, I will feel thankful if you can correct them and I will feel a lot more thankful if you would like to tell me how to say "My friend will come to Japan next year." the way of expressing the action which will happen in future.
1.Sono venuto in Giappone.
I came to Japan.
2.Sono venuto in Giappone sette anni fa.
I came to Japan 7 years ago.
3.Ho venuto in Giappone.
I came to Japan.
Ho venuto in Giappone sette anni fa.
I came to Japan sette anni fa.
4.Mia sorella ha venuto in Giappone cinque anni fa.
Mia sorella è venuta in Giappone cinque anni fa.
My sister came to Japan five years ago.
5.Noi abbiamo venuto in Giappone cinque anni fa.
Noi siamo venuti in Giappone cinque anni fa.
We came to Japan five years ago.
PS. Any English corrections are welcome, too.
Grazie!!

Vengo in Giappone.
Sono venuto in Giappone sette anni fa.
Mia sorella è venuto in Giappone cinque anni fa.
Noi siamo venuti in Giappone cinque anni fa.
So can you tell me why it is not correct to use"avere＋venuto" in the sentences I made? Thank you!!
分かりました。イタリア語の勉強は いままで半月しか経っていないので、あまり深くわかっていないので、よくわかりませんでした。
これからも、よく勉強し、いろいろ書きたいと思っています。
これからも、よろしくお願いします。
いい文法の本を探してみます。文法の本を持っていない。サイトだけで読んでいるけど、
内容はすくなくて説明も詳しくないです。
もっと正しくたくさん書きたいですが。。。＞＜
Vengo in Giapponeo (al passato) Sono venuto in Giappone
Sono venuto in Giappone.
I will try a little harder:D
For some verbs you have to use "avere+pp" and for others "essere+pp". For the verb "venire" you have to use the 2nd possibility: io sono venuto/venuta, lui è venuto, lei è venuta.
You can see all the conjugations here:

My friend will come to Japan next year =
Il mio amico verrà in Giappone l'anno prossimo.
Thank you so much for telling me how to choose the suitable structure to express the past tense in Italian.
I will get some help from the link you attached in the comment
to me.And I will try to understand the future tense in Italian too
Italian is really a big challenge to me:D
Grazie mille!!
