Yes. Frogs can breathe via lungs or skin. When above water, they rely mostly on lungs, aided by skin. When underwater, frogs "breathe" solely through their skin.
(To be more accurate frogs perform gas exchange with their skin, as breathing pertains to lungs.)

∙ 14y agoNo. The amount of time that adults spend in the water varies enormously. Bullfrogs and green frogs, although they have lungs and breathe air, spend almost all their adult lives in the water. On the other end of the spectrum, toads and treefrogs spend the majority of their adulthood outside of water. All frogs and toads, however, must eventually come back to the water to mate and lay eggs.

∙ 14y agoI don't see why a frog would want a part time job underwater. I assume they work full time jobs underwater.

The capillaries in the frog's skin allow it to breathe using a process called cutaneous gas exchange. This allows frogs to breathe underwater.
Why do frogs have dual mode of respiration?
They can breathe with lungs and can perform oxygen exchange through their skin when moist. Well I theorize that when they hibernate, they go underwater into the mud at the bottom of ponds.

That is why they can also perform oxygen exchange through their skin. probably because they're amphibians.

Are frogs underwater creatures?
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. So yes, frogs may be underwater creatures but they roam land aswell
