England is a constituent country of the United Kingdom that takes up the central and southeastern parts of the island of Great Britain. Because it is the most largest and populous part, it has often incorrectly been used as a synonym for the U.K.
Great Britain is an island, divided into the three constituent countries of England, Wales, and Scotland.
The United Kingdom is a nation-kingdom composed of Northern Ireland and the three countries of Great Britain.

Great Britain is the largest of the British Isles. The term Great Britain is used to distinguish from Brittania Minor or otherwise known as Brittany in France. The United Kingdom is England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. England being just one of the four that comprise the United Kingdom, although erroneously it is often used to encompass all of them. Interestingly the United Kingdom does not include the Isle of Mann, in the Irish Sea it is a dependency of the Crown.

UK=United Kingdom. England is part of the UK as is Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. But technically the term Great Britain does not include Northern Ireland. The full term for the state is: The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

The United Kingdom consists of the nations of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The flag is the Union Jack. England is one country--the flag is the red cross on a white background--known as St. George's Cross. Great Britain is another term for UK.
