The most similar thing about birds and reptiles is that they both lay eggs. However, it is important to note that not all reptiles lay eggs. There are many species of snakes and lizards which do not lay eggs, but instead give birth to live young.

What year did dinosaurs evolve from reptiles?
Evolution is generally a gradual process, such that it is generally difficult to classify transition species one way or the other. Would you say birds are reptiles? Birds are dinosaurs. Dinosaurs and reptiles share a common ancestor, probably dating to some time in the early Triassic. That would be around 250 million years ago.

Do Marsupials share characteristics with other animals from other groups?
Marsupials are mammals, so share all features with other mammals. As well, they are vertebrates, so share the characteristic of having a backbone with birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians. Like birds and reptiles, mammals breathe via lungs (rather than gills), and like birds, they are warm-blooded.
Are all dinosaurs reptiles?
All reptiles are diapsids. Mammals (like you and I) are, in contrast, synapsids. So in that respect all reptiles are alike. However, I would not say they were all alike. Snakes are reptiles but lack limbs. Alligators are also reptiles, as are lizards. Tuatara, gavials, amphisbaenids, and tortoises each represent one of the four main modern orders of reptiles. They share some characteristics--just as you and I do, but I would not say they were all alike.
Why don't the reptiles breathe most of the time?
Reptiles DO breathe constantly - it's just that their breathing is shallow - so it's not noticed so much.
