You're pretty close. You can just tell the program to print the string with the command: print string.
Also, remember the = is an assignment operator. To make stuff equal, you need ==...and don't forget to add an end after your if statement. It should look something like this:
loop do
print string
counter += 1
if counter == times
break
end
end
end
