I.e. is Latin for id est, meaning that isor that is to say.
Use it after a sentence or idea, when you want to clarify the idea further or present a specific definition. Read the sentence aloud; if you can change i.e. to in other words, and the sentence still makes sense, then you're using it correctly. It can be used after a semicolon, between em dashes, or inside parentheses.
(Note: WikiAnswers doesn't display em dashes, which are the longest of the dash family. They can be replaced by two hyphens, but in my opinion, only when absolutely necessary. Type "Alt+0151" for an em dash in Windows, and type "Option + Shift + -" for MacOS.)
Here are some examples of i.e. in context:
1. After a semicolon
I'm strongly opposed; i.e., I'm determined not to cooperate.
2. Between a set of em dashes
The Three Stooges--i.e., Larry, Curly and Moe--were one of my favourite television shows growing up.
3. Inside a set of parentheses
The Three Stooges (i.e., Larry, Curly and Moe) were one of my favourite television shows growing up.
The abbreviation of the Latin term "id est" is "i. e. ," which translates literally as "that is" and can be used to replace the phrases "in other words" or "in essence. " An example of a sentence using the abbreviation "i. e. " is "The Senate hearing found that there was no basis for the Army's request to increase funding for the project, i. e. they won't give them a bigger budget. "
