If they appear at the exact same spot in the sky from your position, you see an eclipse. If they are in front of
you at any other position, you see them both. The nearer the Moon's apparent position to the Sun's, the smaller
the crescent of reflected light you see, and the farther the apparent position, the larger the crescent. There's
no reason you cannot see a light source and an object reflecting its light at the same time. You can prove this
to yourself by holding a tennis ball in a dark room illuminated by a single light bulb, and moving it around to
various positions. Or just read up on it: https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/moon/phases.html

     We're not talking about an eclipse, just generally, the moon is FULLY visible depending on it phase DURING THE
     DAY. Both fully in the sky and clearly visible.
