differences between "related to" - "with regard to" - "concerning"
I think the "related to" is more clearly how we can use it.. i mean the way we can use it is more easier than the other ones...
anyway..
examples..
"I do a job which i like and which is related to my studies.. "
"I do a job which i like and which is with regard to my studies.. "
"Your reaction concerning your problems is devastated.. "
"Your reaction related to your problems is devastated.. "
"Your reaction with regard to your problems is devastated.. "
Does "concerning" link only with negative words? i mean i always get a negative meaning when i see "concerning" written ..
thank you in advance...
Nick
PS: By the way thank people who answer my inquiries .. I appreciate it .. :-)

related to:
being connected or associated with something.
concerning:
means about a particular subject. The noun 'concern' indicates something that causes anxiety or unhappiness ,therefore many times 'concerning' is associated with negative happenings, but it is not a rule though. You could also say:
"He gathered the required information concerning the very details of the conference."
'with regard to'
means also concerning or relating to something.
This expressions or idiom is a bit formal though,so it won't be used that much in casual or informal speech, rather in formal writtings.
Since 'in regard with' is a bit formal , 'related to' and 'concerning' will be more often used.
