Which one is correct? "the english players" or "the england players"?
Both correct and interchangable. 'England players' - only those players playing the English national team. There is no reason why you can't use it, those who say it's gramatically incorrect are wrong. The noun can be used as an adjective in the same as the 'Yahoo team' can. If I'm talking with friends about how the England team have played I would use this one. If I said 'English players' that could refer to any football player in England, which is not what I mean. 'English players' - players who are English. Obviously if you are watching a game featuring the England team then there is no confusion as to who they are referring to. **BUT** The second set of terms is slightly different. The 'Germany game will be played in Berlin' sounds the most natural form for a native Br. English speaker. Essentially it's just a shortening of 'the Germany vs. England (or whoever) football game will be...' If you said the 'the Germany football game' this would sound strange, probably because of the fact you had to state that football was being played then you would probably have to be explicit about which teams were involved (e.g Germany vs England) The 'German football game' sounds like it is a different sport, possibly because of the term 'American football'. If you took out the word 'football' you could use a sentence such as 'Beckham played well in the German game' but it would have to be very clear from the context that you were talking about the Germany vs England football match. Hope that helps
Queen of England? Queen in England? Which is correct?
By logical necessities you might assume in order England is classed as one country and a Regal Queen is in general outlined as head of a single nation, something more elevating the title to Emperoress. Nonetheless in certain definitions the United Kingdom acts as one entity. The commonwealth international locations are not her kingdoms like they had been in the course of the Empire, but extra enormously close political allies that she is intrinsically involved with. One other reason why 'England' would not be correct is because England, Wales, Northern ireland and most of the more than a few British Islands have equal laws, which means they act as one conglomerate nation despite being probably defined or else. The Welsh are as a substitute pissed off about that.
The first one you posted is the Saint George cross on a white background, which represents England.The second is the Union Jack, the flag that represents the United Kingdom, which is a combination of the flags of all the countries in UK (England, Scotland and North Ireland).
This is either the flag of England, or the English Flag. “England Flag” is not grammatically correct. It is also known as St. George’s Cross, or the Cross of St. George.This is the flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, also known as the Union Flag and the Union Jack. (It is somewhat common to claim that it is only properly known as the Union Jack when flown on the jack staff of a vessel at sea. According to the UK’s Flag Institute, that is not the case, and either term is correct.)The current Union Flag is the result of two unions. First, in 1707, Scotland and England (who had shared a monarch for over 100 years) merged their parliaments and became Great Britain. Using a design proposed 100 years earlier, they combined the flag of England (above) with the flag of Scotland (St. Andrew’s Cross, or Saltire — interestingly, it is rare to hear it described as the Cross of St. Andrew):They darkened the blue at the request of the navy (supposedly the azure of the Scottish Saltire washed out at sea), and produced the original Union Flag:In 1801, when the United Kingdom and Ireland united their parliaments, they added St. Patrick’s Cross (also St. Patrick’s Saltire or St. Patrick’s flag) to represent Ireland:St. Patrick’s cross is thought to have been invented for an Irish order of chivalry in the late eighteenth century and based on the arms of the Fitzwiliams. It is probably most commonly seen as incorporated into the current Union Flag.What about Wales? Well, Wales had been progressively incorporated into England after conquest by Edward I, and fully by 1550, so despite continuing an independent linguistic and cultural identity, by the time they started changing flags to represent all the nations under them, Wales had been under the English flag over 150 years.
Help me be politically correct about Britain and England?
What is the difference between Great Britain and England? I know to the point that England is the country with London in it and Great Britain is kind of the entire body of land that England is in. But then there's the UK which confuses me. I'm sorry I know I sound like an idiot, but forgive me, I grew up in the American High School system. Can someone just summarize the difference between UK, GB, and England? And then does Australia and those countries down there still count as part of the "kingdom"? Again, I apologize for being stupid, I just want to be politically correct when I say things. And if you are from England or a part of the UK, do you prefer to say you have a or British or an English or Scottish or whatever accent? And since we're on this topic, is the IRA stuff still going on? And let's just go back in time when Hong Kong was under British rule (am I correct by saying British?) would that have been counted as part of the UK?
In referring to England, which is correct, Great Britain or United Kingdom?
England is one country/state in the United Kingdom, which lies mostly (but not entirely) on the island of Britain. From the Wikipedia entry: Great Britain is an island lying off the northwestern coast of mainland Europe and to the east of Ireland, comprising the main territory of the United Kingdom. Great Britain is also used as a geopolitical term describing the combination of England, Scotland, and Wales, which together comprise the entire island and some outlying islands. Great Britain, and simply Britain, are used as informal names for the sovereign state properly known as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
As others have observed, it’s probably not England itself that’s made the difference - but the change in atmosphere. Or at least the distraction that provides.Have you tried visiting anywhere else? Do you get the same reaction? If we’re correct in our assumption, you may find any change in atmosphere healthy, which opens up a lot more options.I’m not saying don’t move to England, but I would caution two things:One, is to talk to someone - a professional - and work together to find the root of your depression. If it’s something in your life, a bad situation, someone that’s dragging you down, etc - then a move might be very healthy. But if it’s not - if it’s something internal to you; you can’t run away from it, and will only find yourself with the same problem. Except now you’ll be somewhere alien, without your family, friends, or familiar support structures. That might not help at all.The second, is that moving is not a vacation - and it’s not always easy. Things that seem novel when you’re visiting, seem alien when you live there. When we call it “culture shock”, we make it sound very short and sudden. But, 10 years later, it still gets me. Sometimes it’ll just be the realisation that some things are still alien to me (“I thought they only did that on TV”). Sometimes it’s the realisation that they’ll never accept me as one of their own - I might call this home, but they won’t consider it my home.Take care of yourself, and do what you need to do - but look before you leap.
Could you please tell me which one is correct?
The second one seems to be misleading. It suggests that London and the Southeast of England are the same place. Even though many people think London is the entire universe, the second sentence seems to me not to be as good as the first. There is more to the Southeast of England than London. I capitalized "Southeast" because I regard it as a proper noun in this case. It is used in common language as if it is the name of a place. If your teacher does not agree with me, then do not capitalize the word. Peace be with you.
Which is correct england or united kingdom or great britain?
From my understanding, Britain is the island made up of England, Scotland and Wales. Great Britain is the major island plus all the little islands like the isle of man, hebrides etc etc (not sure if the channel islands are part of this) and then the British Isles are the twin islands of Britain and Ireland. These are geographical terms. The United Kingdom is a political term and used to be England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, but since Southern Ireland became independent, is now made up of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Island. The term was originally used I believe when Scotland and England were joined by the Act of Union in 17 something. As for the history of Britanny mentioned above, I went to university in Britanny, and the history that they told us was that the Bretons were originally celts in Britain, but when the Anglo Saxon came over and pushed the celts into the outlying districts of Britain (ie cornwall, wales and cumbria), some of them moved over to Britanny (which they call Bretagne). The Bretons differenciated between the motherland and their own land by calling the new country they'd move to "Small Britain" or petit Bretagne, which was then shortened to Bretagne, and "Big Britain" or Grande Bretagne (what is now translated as Great Britain). Don't know how true it is, not having been around back then, but that's what the Bretons said.
Which is considered the more "correct" way to speak English? American English or British English?
English is a language. This means it is a form of communication. If what is intended to be communicated is understood by the the party that is listening then it is good enough. By the way, long ago Americans did speak and write in a way that is similar to British English until it was decided to be too difficult and so stepped in a man of fame. He wrote a dictionary or rewrote the English language as we know it. I wonder, who was he?
