Explanation:

Identify contractions in each sentence

We need to locate the shortened word forms containing apostrophes that represent combined words.

• Sentence 1: "It'd've" is a double contraction.
• Sentence 2: "hadn't" is a negative contraction.
• Sentence 3: "Who's" is a contraction of a question word and a verb.
• Sentence 4: "couldn't" is a negative contraction.
• Sentence 5: "Weren't" is a negative contraction.
• Sentence 6: "won't" is a negative contraction.
• Sentence 7: "We're" is a pronoun-verb contraction.
• Sentence 8: "Who're" is a question word-verb contraction.

Expand contractions to uncontracted forms

We will expand each identified contraction to its full, formal grammatical components.

• "It'd've" expands to "It would have".
• "hadn't" expands to "had not".
• "Who's" expands to "Who is" (or "Who has" depending on context; here "Who's going" means "Who is going").
• "couldn't" expands to "could not".
• "Weren't" expands to "Were not".
• "won't" expands to "will not".
• "We're" expands to "We are".
• "Who're" expands to "Who are".

Rewrite the sentences

Using the expanded forms, we reconstruct each sentence while maintaining correct Sentence Structure and capitalization.

• "It'd've been nice to see the show." becomes "It would have been nice to see the show."
• "I was left thinking: hadn't we been here before?" becomes "I was left thinking: had we not been here before?" (or "hadn't" to "had not" as "I was left thinking: had not we been here before?", but standard uncontracted form in questions typically places the subject between the auxiliary and "not": "had we not been here before?"). Let's provide the direct word-for-word expansion "had not we" as well as the natural uncontracted phrasing "had we not".
• "Who's going to pay for this?" becomes "Who is going to pay for this?"
• "She simply couldn't bear it." becomes "She simply could not bear it."
• "Weren't you at the last party in June?" becomes "Were you not at the last party in June?" (or "Were not you...").
• "You won't forget to give her a ring, will you?" becomes "You will not forget to give her a ring, will you?"
• "We're all going on holiday tomorrow!" becomes "We are all going on holiday tomorrow!"
• "Who're you going with?" becomes "Who are you going with?"
