посоветуешь is future. Literally "What will you suggest..."


--Сколько стоит хорошая шапка?
--Девяносто рублей.
--Это слишком дорого. Дорого is an adverb. Adverbs have no gender.

--Где ты была сегодня вечером?
--Я ходила в магазин. Is ходила correct?
OK

One more question: This is a sentence from the book. Я думаю, что я куплю ему галстук. Is the second я necessary here? It seems in most sentences like this, the subject isn't repeated.

It is a complex sentence actually. It consists of 2 clauses, each has its own subject (even if it is the same word.)

But in that example each of "я" can be omitted or even both of them. "Думаю, что куплю ему галстук." is OK. Because "думаю" and "куплю" have first person forms so the meaning is clear.
