doubts
/daʊts/
When used as a noun, "doubts" is often plural when referring to specific reasons for uncertainty (e.g., "I have my doubts"). As a verb, "doubts" is the third-person singular present form of "doubt." It is commonly followed by a "that" clause or a direct object. Note that in English, we usually do not say "I doubt that... maybe"; since "doubt" already expresses uncertainty, adding "maybe" is repetitive.
