Yes they are different. Great Britain is the largest island of the British Isles. England, along with Scotland and Wales are situated on Great Britain. The United Kingdom is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Ireland is the second largest island of the British Isles and consists of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The British Isles are the two I've already mentioned plus all the smaller islands around the coast of the two main islands including the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. There is some contention about the use of these names in terms of geography and politics.

England is the largest of three nations that make up Great Britain. The other two are Scotland and Wales. Great Britain is a land mass to the north of France.
With the addition of another nation, Northern Ireland, on the separate island mass that is Ireland, is formed the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland (usually shortened to UK).
The UK is one sovereign state made up of four nations.

England is one of the three historical countries on the island of Great Britain.
Great Britain is an island that contains the historical countries of England, Scotland, and Wales.
The United Kingdom is composed of Great Britain, Northern Ireland, and several nearby islands. The name comes from the merger of the English and Scottish monarchies in 1707.

United Kingdom has england, ireland, scotland and wales. Great Britain refers, I think, to the British Empire and England is just part of the United Kingdom.

Great Britain is geographical - it is the mainland of England, Scotland and Wales.
The British Isles is also geographical, it also includes the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland and all the other offshore islands (such as the Hebrides and Skye) too.
The British Islands is the same as the British Isles, but is without southern Ireland.
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland comprises England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. It does NOT include the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands. These are technically seperate states, but are crown dependancies.
England is just England on its own, without any of the other countries.
