Semi quavers refer to sixteenth notes, and breves are double whole notes. In 4/4 time, semi quavers last 1/4 beats and breves last for 8 beats. So if there are 4 semi quavers in a crotchet and 8 crotchets in a breve, there are 32 semi quavers in a breve.
Well, a semi quaver has less time value than a crotchet, and 4 semi quavers equals one crotchet. If we take the inverse of that, we get 1/4 of a crotchet is equal to one semi quaver.
One beat. A quaver = 1/2 of a beat, so 2 quavers means 1 beat
A semi-brieve is a note that is equal to a whole bar, or 4 beats of time in music. It is equal to two minums, 4 crotchets, 8 quavers or 16 semi-quavers. It's called a semi-brieve because the brieve used to be the standard notation for a whole bar and was equal to 8 beats. It also has a few other name including whole note, bar note, bar length note and others.
16 quavers can be played in the same time as 8 crotchets.

Quavers or smaller notes are grouped together by beams. If there are two parallel beams, the notes should be semi quavers. In usual practice, these are grouped in crotchets in simple time signatures.

in threes.
There would be 3 dotted crotchets or 9 quavers.
Quavers are usually 'even', that is, all the same length. In swing time, or shuffle time, the quavers/eighth notes are uneven, in a long-short-long-short pattern. One way to think of this is that two quavers will sound the same as a crotchet (quarter-note) and quaver within a triplet. http://popularmusichistory.com/
Three notes, normally quavers, they are to played faster than normal quavers. I always remember how to play them, because in my head I say 'banana' To be exact in definition, 'triplet' means that the three notes must be played in time of two notes. For example, if you had a triplet in quavers, they must be played in the time of a crotchet, because two quavers equal 1 crotchet. Another example, triplet in crotchets must be played in the time of a minim, because two crotchets equal 1 minim.
A time signature of 38 is three quavers to a bar.
It means a tremolo in quavers. Here, the same pitch as in the given note must be repeated in quavers till they fill the time of the crotchet, i.e. two times as in this instance.
