I am in doubt or I am in dount about?!
I am in doubt at the moment. It is not easy to decide between studying here in my country or abroad. There is advantage in both choices, so it is not an easy decision to make.
Studying in my country has the advantage of having the support of my family on my side, and being emotionally in good hands.
Can I use ' I am in doubt' in the above context or should I use ' I am in doubt about something"?! I mean, Can I use 'be in doubt' witout 'about'?!
