The abbreviation “i.e.” stands for id est, which is Latin for “that is.” The abbreviation “e.g.” stands for the Latin phrase exempli gratia, meaning “for example.” Let's consider a sentence that uses “i.e.”: All employees will receive the standard discount; i.e., 20 percent.
for example
Grammarly. I.e. and e.g. are both Latin abbreviations. E.g. stands for exempli gratia and means “for example.” I.e. is the abbreviation for id est and means “in other words.” Remember that E is for example (e.g.) and that I and E are the first letters of in essence, an alternative English translation of i.e.
Put "i.e." in the middle of a sentence, never at the beginning or end. The abbreviation "i.e." should always appear after the first section of the sentence, in the middle, so it is grammatically correct.
The abbreviations 'e.g.' and 'i.e.' have a couple of things in common: both are short for Latin terms; and both are now commonly used in academic writing.
