'that is' in the end of a sentence
What's that mean? Unfortunateley I don't have a good example to post, but hopefully you will understand me.
ps Oh, btw, is it 'at the end of a sentence' or 'in the end of a sentence'?

Whether 'that is' comes at the end of the sentence, is that your question?

"That is" can come before or after an explanation or correction, at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end of a sentence.

The best example, though may be crude some people's eyes...
"I love pussies. cats - that is!". "that is" means "that is to say" placed at the end of the sentence is used for emphasis. To show that you love cats and not the slang meaning of pussies.
