Just use the ones with "about".

By the way, don't say "I have a doubt" to mean "I have a question". Saying just "I have a doubt" is somewhat unusual in English when it turns out that someone really has a question. I've heard "I have a doubt" enough times for it to be memorable. Saying "I have a doubt about 'something' is okay and good.

Thanks again PROESL !

Let us consider the following two situations:

1) A teacher explains something to his class and a student immediatelly says:
S.: "Teacher, I have a doubt about this."
T.: "Yes ?"
S.: <Question>
Is it correct? By your previous post I see if the students forget to say 'about this' it is wrong, but here the student said it.

2) A teacher has just finished his class something. Is it correct if he asks:
T. "Any doubts?" or T.: "Any doubts, class?" or T.:"Do you have any doubts?",
when he means "Did you understand?"

Oh, just came to my mind: In the first situation above, if the students says instead "Teacher, I have some doubts about it", is it ok?

I would expect to hear from a native speaker "I have a question" more often.

2) A teacher has just finished his class something. Is it correct if he asks:
T. "Any doubts?" or T.: "Any doubts, class?" or T.:"Do you have any doubts?", when he means "Did you understand?" << Personally, I would say "Does anyone have any questions?" or "Does everyone understand?" I wouldn't say "Do you have any doubts?". It's grammatically correct, but not the best lexical choice when it comes to approximating native speaker speech. So I woudn't say "any doubts?" either.

Oh, this just came to mind: In the first situation above, if the student says instead "Teacher, I have some doubts about it", is it ok? <<< Yes, that sounds good.
