Do you know the difference between E.G. and I.E? Do you know how to use each?
The abbreviations e.g.and i.e. are often confused.
This is because they are both used to clarify something previously mentioned. However, they are not the same.
The abbreviation e.g. is from the Latin exempli gratia. It is the customary abbreviation for “for example." E.g. is used to provide an example.
For example:
He was going to paint the room in bright colors, e.g., blue, green, yellow, and red.
The abbreviation i.e. is from the Latin id est. It is the customary abbreviation for “that is." i.e. is used to offer more information or to restate an idea more clearly. Usually, it can be substituted with in other words.
For example: He was going to paint the room in bright colors, i.e., blue, green, yellow, and red.
