I'm British and I'm in the 6th form (I'm 16, soon to turn 17 and doing A-Level Physics). Do I post my queries in the K-12 forum or the college forum?
The term "English" typically refers to a person who is a citizen of England or who has ancestral ties to England. It can also refer to someone who speaks the English language as their first language.
While the terms are often used interchangeably, "English" refers specifically to people from England, while "British" can refer to people from England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
No, being "English" is not a race or ethnicity. It is a nationality or cultural identity.
Yes, someone can identify as English even if they were not born in England. Nationality and cultural identity are not solely based on place of birth, but on factors such as citizenship, ancestry, and language.
Some common characteristics of English people include a love for tea, a dry sense of humor, a passion for football (soccer), and a reserved nature. However, these are generalizations and may not apply to all individuals who identify as English.
