What was the moon shape last night?
it was half moon
What is before a full moon?
Nothing is in front of it. Rather, part of the Moon is illuminated by the Sun, and part of it is dark. It is actually possible to see the dark side, especially near new moon - in this case, the dark side receives some light from the Earth - but much less than the bright side of the Moon.
Is a waning gibbous moon larger or smaller than a waning crescent moon?
The size of the moon doesn't change, but the amount of its illuminated half that we see does change. "Crescent" is the shape of less than a half-disk. "Gibbous" is the shape of more than a half-disk but less than a full disk. So the gibbous is larger than the crescent, whether waxing or waning.

Last Wednesday (January 2nd) the moon was at a waning gibbous, a waning gibbous is where the moon is covered up with a crescent shape from the right and is three fourths full from the left.
