Deciding When and How to Use I.E

As earlier mentioned, ‘I.E’ stands for the Latin phrase ‘id est’, this means “in other words” or “that is to say.” One must wonder how and when to use I.E. Students might go all the way wrong by writing an essay where he is unsure about the usage of I.E. You might be unsure about where and how to use I.E in your business portal. Hence, we are here to fix this. 

First, you have to analyze if “i.e.” will be effective in the sentence you are writing. Then, put “i.e.” in that sentence properly using necessary commas so it becomes grammatically correct. With a few initial steps, you can use “i.e.” like a pro in a short time.

Deciding When to Use the Acronym i.e

• Use "i.e." to say “that is” or use it “in other words.” Use the abbreviation "i.e.” when you want to add on something more to the first part of a sentence and give the reader more insight into it. The information should be first explained in the first part of the sentence with acute detail so the reader understands it better.

• For example, you can write, “I am a vegan since 9, i.e., I do not eat any animal-based products since when I struck 9” or “He works in the morning shift, i.e., from 6 am to 1 at noon.”

• Do not use "i.e." to say “for example” or “such as.” It should be cleared out that this abbreviation “i.e.” should not be used if you want to provide an example of an illustration of your presentation to the readers. In that case, you can always use “e.g” instead of “i.e.” “E.g.” is the Latin phrase for “for the sake of example.” 

• Example: “I do not include raw fish in my diet, i.e., sushi.” and “I dislike Japanese food, e.g., sushi or ramen."

• Or, “She likes romantic poetry, i.e., poems that explore matters of the heart and romanticize her mood” and “She likes poetry about love, e.g., poems by the Horizon Romantics.”

• Use this abbreviation in the informal documents as well. You may put “i.e.” in a sentence where you are writing an email or a letter to a friend, this is an informal piece of writing for a class, or this can be a quick business note. If you are writing a formal business document or an academic paper, consider using “that is” or “in other words” instead of the acronym. 

• In few cases, using “i.e.” in a news article, an essay, or an academic paper may be alright. Check with your instructor to make sure it is appropriate for the style in an essay or the content.  

Putting i.e. in a Sentence While You Write-

• Lowercase it and use periods. When writing the abbreviation “i.e.” this should always appear with a lowercase “i” and a lowercase “e” in a sentence, with a period between both letters.
  You cannot italicize or bold the acronym. The abbreviation "i.e." is not required to be formatted differently than the rest of the document in the paper. Leave the acronym in the regular case, with no italicizing or without bolding. 

• Place a comma before and after writing “i.e.” This will help the abbreviation to stand out and let your reader know that you are providing additional or extra information after “i.e.”

• Put "i.e." in the mid of a sentence, but never at the beginning or end. The abbreviation “i.e.” should be put at the very first. This abbreviation should appear in the first section of the sentence, or the middle so that it grammatically sounds correct.
