The cross of St George, not the Union Jack, is the flag of England. It is a red cross on a white field.
The official proportions for the national flag of England is 3:5, with the cross being 1/5 of the height of the flag wide.
When King James VI of Scotland ascended to the English throne, thereby becoming James I of England, the national flags of England and Scotland on land continued to be, respectively, the red St George's cross and the white St Andrew's cross.
At sea, however, from about 1606 a combination of the two flags was used which was the predecessor to the current Union Flag (often called the "Union Jack" although technically a "Jack" is a naval flag only).
The combination of St George's Cross and St. Andrew's Cross was incorporated into the early (pre-indepencence) American flag.
The current flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland which incorporates the Cross of St. Patrick (the diagonal red cross) was adopted in 1801.

Why is the English flag the actual flag?
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this question, but here are three possible answers: If you are basically asking "Why is the flag of England a red cross on a white field?", then the answer is because it is the St. George's cross, and St. George is the patron saint of England. If you are asking "Why do they use the flag of England for Britain?" then the answer is they don't. The flag of England is as described above, and the flag of Britain is the Union Flag, a composite of the flags of Scotland, England and Northern Ireland If you are asking "Why does the flag of Britain look the way it does?", and are just mistakenly calling Britain "England", (a thing which, incidentally, really infuriates us Scots), then the answer is as above, it is a composite of three of the constituent nations in the state of the UK.
