* Do not use abbreviations (don't, won't, etc.). If you do, use a
comma after it:
blabla blabla, i.e., blabla blabla
I don't know why it's not in CG though.

From what I've learned about using "i.e.," you can use it like:
"He can read very well, i.e. [...]"
So, the comma goes before the i.e., but not after because "est" (is)
acts as a verb and it's not necessary. However, "i.e." sometimes also
translates as "in other words," so a comma would be necessary there
because it's a prepositional phrase.
