Certainly! When using the Past Simple Tense, we typically conjugate the verb to reflect actions that were completed in the past. Below is the expanded version of the sentences with the verbs in brackets converted to the Past Simple Tense:

1. Last year my family went to England on holiday.

   • "Went" is the past tense of "go."

2. It was fantastic.

   • "Was" is the past tense of "be" when referring to singular subjects like "it."

3. I visited lots of interesting places.

   • "Visited" is the past tense of "visit."

4. I was with two friends of mine.

   • "Was" is used again for the past tense of "be" for the singular subject "I."

5. In the mornings we walked in the streets of London.

   • "Walked" is the past tense of "walk."

6. In the evenings we went to pubs.

   • "Went" is again used for the past tense of "go."

7. The weather was strangely fine.

   • "Was" is used for the past tense of "be" when describing the singular subject "the weather."

8. It did not rain a lot.

   • "Did not rain" is the negative form of "rain" in the past simple tense. We use "did not" followed by the base form of the verb "rain."

9. But we saw some beautiful rainbows.

   • "Saw" is the past tense of "see."

10. Where did you spend your last holiday?

    • "Did you spend" is the interrogative form of "spend" in the past simple tense. We use "did" followed by the subject "you" and the base form of the verb "spend."

These transformations reflect actions that have already taken place, which is the function of the Past Simple Tense in English.
