While the subject and predicate are important to sentence structure in both spoken and written English, they may be less formally emphasized in spoken language, especially in casual conversation. However, in written English, the subject and predicate are more clearly defined and often form the foundation of clear and concise writing.

Subject and Predicate are crucial parts of a sentence, that bring clarity and meaning in communication. The subject identifies who or what the sentence is about, while the predicate explains what the subject does or is. Thus, understanding about these two is important for effective writing, and clear comprehension.
