Acts 5.42: And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they kept right on teaching and preaching Jesus [as] the Christ.
Did they cease doing one while they were doing the other  ?

The very fact it says teaching AND preaching shows these were two distinct Actions or Functions.
The word for Preach here is where we get our word Evangelize
Zodhaites
εὐαγγελίζω
euaggelízō; fut. euaggelísō, aor. euēggélisa, from euággelos (n.f.), bringing good news, which is from eu (G2095), good, well, and aggéllō (n.f.), to proclaim, tell. To evangelize, proclaim the good news, preach the gospel. It was at the time that the first Christians were "scattered abroad, and went about preaching the Word" after the martyrdom of Stephen (he being one of the seven), that the verb euaggelízō (G2097), to publish the good tidings or good news, was used by Luke in
Act_8:4,
Act_8:12,
Act_8:25,
Act_8:35,
Act_8:40.
Used in the act. voice meaning to declare, proclaim (
Rev_10:7;
Rev_14:6); in the pass. voice, euaggelízomai, of matters to be proclaimed as glad tidings (
Luk_16:16;
Gal_1:11; 1Pe_1:25); of persons to whom the proclamation is made (
Mat_11:5;
Luk_7:22;
Heb_4:2,
Heb_4:6; 1Pe_4:6); in the mid. voice especially of the message of salvation with a personal obj., either of the person preached (
Act_5:42;
Act_11:20;
Gal_1:16), or with a prep., of persons evangelized (
Act_8:12;
Act_13:32;
Eph_3:8). Not found in Gospel of Mark, or the epistles and Gospel of John, only once in the Gospel of Matthew, and twice in the Book of the Revelation. Related to euaggélion (G2098), a good message. Also from euággelos (n.f.): euaggélion (G2098), good news.
