can we say ...... ?

Hello everyone

just imagine your family not important right who , one member of your family comes to your room then immediately left , how can you say the tenses ?

which of following instances must be said or used :

1-my brother/sister has came to my room then left
2-my brother/sister came to my room then left
just imagine it happens right now or in present .

and another question is about the slightly difference in time which separate above sentence

so many thanks in advance

I have another question that it may seems so amateur , you used "would" frequently in your posts

I know these questions are and seem amateur
