Hi Paul,
After the ball has been served, you must return the ball over the net without touching your own side of the table. If you are returning serve you hit the ball into your own side of the table you lose the point.
When you hit the ball before it bounces, you are hitting the ball on the full.

Hitting the Ceiling
When the ball hits the ceiling the point is over. You must hit the ball directly back onto the table otherwise you lose the point. In International tournaments the roof needs to be at least 5 metres above the playing surface but in local competitions you might often encounter much lower ceilings.
