Doubt
#10
ChaosH Wrote:If you "doubt something" or "have a doubt about something", you question yourself or someone about it; It doesn't matter what idiom you speak (unless you use the exact same word for both "doubt" and "question").

Both in English and Portuguese, I've heard "does anyone have any doubts about the assignment/homework/lesson" and "does anyone have any questions about the assignment/homework/lesson" being used, a lot.

I don't think it's quite "doubting = questioning", but rather the other way around, question can mean both inquiry and uncertainty.
