Question

Dear sirs,

I am an italian teacher of english language for A2 level students, I have a doubt about the correct way to express myself , is it correct to say "in example" or it is better to say "for example"? when I find the letters e.g. the meaning is "for example"...what the right words these letters refer to???

thank you in advance

Elisa

Answer 1

'For example' is correct. You could also say 'as an example.'

Answer 2

E.g. stands for exempli gratia in Latin, which means “for example.”
