Best Answer

Yes, most adult frogs have fully functional lungs plus they can exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide with the air through their skin also or in simpler terms they can breathe through their skin too albeit not in a very efficient manner but enough to keep them alive underwater for extended periods. The African clawed frog is one of the rare exceptions in that the adults are fully aquatic, exchange gas through their skin and do not have lungs.
