Hi teachers,
What is the difference between “suspect” and “doubt”?
Thanks
Hi,
I am not a teacher, but I think they’re opposite.
Doubt: Negative meaning
Suspect : Positive meaning.
If I am wrong, please fix me.

I don’t know for sure - just wild guess.
I bet in Vietnamese these two words are really opposite.
