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.
