Frogs are amphibians. That means they can live on land, but they must return to water alot to lay eggs and breathe, whereas toads are land animals, so if you live in a house far from any water bodies or out in the country without ponds the pads/frogs you see in your garden are most likely be toads.

Why the tadpole has a different breathing method than the adult frog?

A tadpole breaths using external gills, taking oxygen from the water, and must remain underwater. As the tadpole develops, it absorbs the tail, grows four limbs, and begin to breath air through internal lungs. As an adult, a frog spends much time in the open air, under damp places, and will only return to the water to mate, or as a refuge if threatened, or to hibernate in the muddy floor of the pond during winter. When hibernating at the bottom of a pond, frogs breath through their skin, while their body functions are reduced to a minimum, torpid state.
