When the Sun and Moon are aligned on the same side of the Earth the Moon is "new", and the side of the Moon visible from Earth is not illuminated by the Sun. As the Moon waxes (the amount of illuminated surface as seen from Earth is increasing), the lunar phases progress from new moon, crescent moon, first-quarter moon, gibbous moon and full moon phases, before returning through the gibbous moon, third-quarter (or last quarter) moon, crescent moon and new moon phases. The terms old moon and new moon are interchangeable, although new moon is more common. Half moon is often used to mean the first- and third-quarter moons, while the term 'quarter' refers to the extent of the moon's cycle around the Earth, not its shape.

We can see the Full Moon phase. If the alignment is just right we can get a lunar eclipse.

The moon in the days before and after a full moon appear as a gibbous moon. A gibbous moon is anything between a full moon and a half moon.
Waxing gibbous moon, when the moon is 50%<x<100%.

All of them do, if you go back far enough in the records. The last named phase immediately before the waning gibbous is the Full Moon.
Full Moon -> Waxing gibbous phase -> First quarter phase -> Waxing crescent phase -> New moon -> Waning crescent phase -> Last quarter phase -> Wanning gibbous phase -> Full Moon
