Hi. I thought negative opinions were followed by the subjunctive  and translated the above sentence thus: Je ne pensais pas que ce soit si intéressant.  Is that incorrect?

Thanks

My dictionary gives 3 translations for cookie : biscuit, petite gâteau,  and gâteau.   I chose to use petit gâteau, which was marked incorrect.  Since I can't see the cookie and don't really understand if there is a difference, perhaps according to shape or size, could someone elaborate on the nuances?  I have gotten into trouble with this with my friend, who is a native French person, when I used biscuit for cookies that she prepared. Apparently,  there is some disfunction unknown to me.

Hi, in “Curieuse de nature, je m'y étais aventurée !”, is “curieuse” in its feminine form (as opposed to the masculine “curieux”) because the speaker is female? Am I right in thinking that this is not influenced at all by the female word “nature”?
