Original: "Frog eggs hatch into tadpoles in water, then adult frogs live on land."

Corrected (one sentence): "Frog eggs hatch into tadpoles in the water, and adult frogs live on land."

Or as two short sentences: "Frog eggs hatch into tadpoles in the water. Adult frogs live on land."

Why this is better (simple):

  • We add "the" before "water" because we mean the water where the eggs are.
  • We use "and" (or a period) to join the two ideas so the sentence sounds clear.

Quick frog life steps:

  • Eggs → hatch into tadpoles (live in water)
  • Tadpoles grow legs and become froglets
  • Froglets grow into adult frogs (live on land)

Good job! You can say either corrected version—both are right.
