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.

Doubles Serving Rules
In this video we go over the somewhat complicated rules of serving for doubles in table tennis. There are a couple of extra rules for doubles that you don't apply to singles. In doubles you always serve from the right hand box diagonally to your opponent's right hand box. Each player has 2 serves each. If you've just been receiving then it's your turn to serve next.
