Does the English Horn have the same fingerings as the oboe? Why are they always grouped together? and where can I find fingerings for the English horn?

The English Horn, or Cor Anglais as it is known in England, has the same fingering as the oboe, but the notes come out transposed down a fifth. The music is written to take this into account. When you see a C in the music, you play the normal oboe fingering for a C, but the note that comes out is actually an F.

They're grouped together because they are two members of the same family. The English Horn also goes by the name "tenor oboe" sometimes.
