If you're right handed, proper English etiquette while cutting something would be to have the fork in left hand, and knife in right- but don't switch the fork to your right hand when you're about to eat it.

Also, I was asked by two families in France why I kept my hands in my lap (of course, they asked with a giggle)...I then remembered that in Europe it is considered rude not to place your arms on the table and visible to all. Oh, and you should always eat EVERYTHING with a knife and fork. No kidding.
