Concern of/for
Hi
Can you help?
Are these sentences all right?
1. He has an extraordinary concern for the poor.
2. Drug addiction among the teenagers is a matter of great concern.
3. Their whimsical behaviour is a cause of concern. Can we use 'for' in place of 'of'? If yes, what will be the difference in the meaning?
