The phase of the moon you see depends on?
how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces earth.
What you see of the moon depends on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces the earth?
Yes, exactly. The part of the Moon we see bright is the part that is exposed to direct sunlight.
What portion of the moon is lit during the full moon phase?
The half of the moon that faces earth is in full sunlight.
Why does the far side of the moon actually receive slightly more sunlight than the side of the moon which faces earth?
The far side of the moon receives slightly more sunlight because it is never subject to a terrestrial eclipse (such as the shadow of the earth on the moon). However, while the far side does receive more direct sunlight. the near side, which faces Earth is more luminous due to the reflected sunlight from the Earth back to the moon. so in short answer, the far side receives more direct sunlight, but the near side is more luminous.
Is it always the same half of the moon that reflects sunlight?
Yes, if that is what is being asked. The same half of the Moon faces Earth all the time.
When does full moon happens?
When the side of the moon that faces Earth (the same side of the moon always faces Earth) is fully bathed in sunlight. The Moon experiences day and night cycles, but it takes 28 days for the moon to complete a day/night cycle because of the Moon's relatively slow spin (which is what keeps the same side of the Moon facing Earth).

What depens on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces the earth?
The brightness depends on that.
What part of the moon would you see depends on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces earth?
Phase
Why does the moon changes phase as the months progress?
The phase of the moon you see depends on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces earth.
What does the phases of the moon you see depends on?
The phases of the moon are dependant on the relative positions of the sun, moon and earth. It's the angle between the view-lines to the sun and the moon, with you at the vertex of the angle. The phase of the moon you see depends on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces earth.
What the changing in appearance of the moon as viewed from the earth due to the relative positions of the moon earth and sun?
Phases, a phase depends on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces.
