Implied subject with "i.e."?

Question

Is it required that an `i.e.` clause have an explicit subject? Preferred? *E.g.*, is the following sentence correct? >She was not amenable, i.e., turned him down. Or would it have to be >She was not amenable, i.e., she turned him down. *I.e.*, can you use `i.e.` to clarify only part of a sentence, or must you use the full sentence (and restate the the other part that didn't bear clarifying)?

Answer 1

When using i.e. to provide clarity on something in writing, is is not necessary to fully spell out the entire sentence as you are only clarifying the word or words that would otherwise be hard to understand. In this case, you would not say "i.e., she turned him down" but rather would say "i.e. turned him down"
