I often see "i.e." used in sentences, but I'm not sure what it stands for. Can someone tell me the full form and how it's used correctly?
 
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.”
