The earth is bigger than the moon so if you saw an eclipse by the earth on the moon it would cover the entire disk of the sun. You would not be able to view the corona (the gas envelope around the sun) as you do here on earth when the moon eclipses the sun.

you would see a lot more total eclipses of the sun. The earth is much larger than the moon, so it has a much larger shadow for the moon to pass through, causing the sun to be completely covered up more often and for longer periods during an eclipse.

If you lived in the moon, you wouldn't see any - you'd be inside the moon.
If you meant to ask "if you lived ON the moon", then you would see an eclipse of the sun when the earth was between you and the sun.
You would also see an eclipse of the earth when the moon was between the earth and the sun, but it wouldn't be a total eclipse due to the earth being larger in the moon's sky.

Think about what causes eclipses, and figure out if that situation could happen if you were on the Moon.

If I lived "in" the moon, I would be living "in" a cave and I wouldn't be able to see the light of day.
