The big difference is that frogs are amphibians and breathe air. Most frogs lay their eggs in water and in the larval stage (tadpoles) live in water and have gills in order to breathe; when they mature they lose their gills and tails, move onto land and breathe air, some with lungs, others by absorbing oxygen through their skin. read more
