Reptiles have scales, nearly all lay eggs with hard shells, and breath air. Eg. snakes, lizards and turtles.

Amphibians, have smooth skin, lay eggs that are soft and start life as an aquatic juvenile. Examples include frogs, salamanders and caecilians.

What is the difference between how reptiles breathe and how amphibians breathe?

Reptiles (snakes, lizards, crocodiles etc) breathe using lungs. If they are underwater they have to come to the surface to breathe. Amphibians (frogs, newts, salamanders etc) are NOT reptiles. Amphibians often breathe through their skin. They can also gulp air into their primitive lungs using their mouth or throat.

What is the difference between dinosaurs and reptiles?

The word dinosaur means "terrible lizard". Dinosaurs were reptiles, meaning that they had no fur and hatched from eggs. They were closely related to lizards, but were really very different. There are many differences, but the main one lies where you'd least expect it. It is the way their legs join to their hips. It sounds funny, but if you think about it really, it is true. If you look at a lizard, you'll notice that their legs are in a kind of squatted position, with the legs going out to the side. A dinosaurs legs, however, go straight down, much like our own. So, that is how you can tell the difference between a dinosaur and a reptile.
