Can you give gas while changing gears (standard)?

Last time I driven manual was when I was 9 years old. I'm getting a new manual car in 1 week. I know how to drive manual I'm sure but have just one question.



When I'm driving the car and want to change gears, when i push the clutch in can i keep giving the car gas or do i release the gas then push the clutch in then change gears?



I'm pretty sure you release the gas when pushing in the clutch, but just want to make sure.Can you give gas while changing gears (standard)?
If you release the gas when you shift, you will get a smooth shift.



If you dont let go of the gas with the clutch in, then you will rev the engine up.Can you give gas while changing gears (standard)?
Depends on the car. Some cars have ';no lift shifting'; which means you keep the clutch pedal down and just accelerate and change gears. Other than those vehicles you don't apply gas until after your clutch engages...even with heel to toe downshifting you aren't on the gas pedal when you're shifting.
