How to say this? "...an ability of/to be"
Hi! Could you tell me which one is more correct?

1. He has an ability of being concentrated in difficult situations.
2. He has an ability to be concentrated in difficult situations.

Or maybe it's natural to say:

3. He has an ability to concentrate in difficult situations.

Or they are all the same?

Answer

The first one is more correct.

But I would say something like:  He is able to remain concentrated in difficult situations.
