How does it change in a sentence?

To express possession or to say 'of England', you use the feminine genitive article της followed by the genitive form Αγγλίας.

/aŋˈɡlia/

In certain Greek dialects or older poetic contexts, you might see references to the 'English' people as Άγγλοι, which sounds remarkably like the word for 'angels'.
The word Αγγλία is an example of a 'loanword' in Greek, adapted from the Latin 'Anglia' rather than being derived from ancient Greek roots.
The root Αγγλο is used in Greek to create compound words for hybrid identities, such as Αγγλο-Κύπριος for an Anglo-Cypriot.

Θέλω να πάω στην Αγγλία.
I want to go to England.
