Pronoun
Hello everyone!
In a grammar exercise, I came across this sentence: "Although they lack experience, newly qualified doctors are passionate."
I would like to ask why "newly qualified doctors" aren't placed in the beginning of the sentence. I think if "they" is in the front of the sentence, it is very general and hard to understand who they are.
Thank you in advance ??????
