Sure! Here are the corrections and explanations for each sentence:
1) I’ve just been on holiday with my family.
Correction: I have just been on holiday with my family.
Explanation: The correction here is simply changing "I've" to "I have" as it is the full form of the contraction.
2) My nephews did some pirates’ games.
Correction: My nephews played some pirate games.
Explanation: The correction here is changing "did" to "played" and "pirates'" to "pirate" as it is the correct form of the word.
3) I’ve also taken a photo with a famous footballer. (or I also took a photo..?). I ate paella. It was (not is) delicious.
Correction: I also took a photo with a famous footballer. I ate paella. It was delicious.
Explanation: Both "I've" and "I also took" are correct depending on the context. However, "was" is the correct past tense form of "is" when describing something in the past.
4) We flew back (we traveled by air??) but the flight wasn’t too long.
