It’s 楽しかったです. (Tanoshikatta desu)

※ The standard form is 楽しい + です, and make the 楽しい part the past form.

Keep up the good work!

I have a question, in the sentence 「新しく店できたよな」, why is 「新しく」 in adverbial form? Isn’t it complementing 「店」, which is a noun?

One function of the ku-form is to turn i-adjective into adverbs. In other words, it allows us to describe how an action is done. It’s quite similar to adding -ly to English adjectives (like happy) to form adverbs (like happily).it helps to describe how things are done in Japanese.
I hope this helps!

Does this mean that here 「新しく」 is complementing the verb 「できた」 and not the noun 「店」?
