Its tricky. If a player sends a pass to a teammate, and at the moment the passer touches the ball his teammate only has one or none opposing player between him and the opponents END LINE, the the one recieving the ball is in offside. The rule states that if he is taking advantage of his position (by not having at least 2 players between him and opponents end line), then he is offside. If the ball is touched by an opponent, that doesn´t make the offside dissapear. But, if the ball is passed by the opposet, that does make the player eligible to recieve the ball.
A player can be in offside, but if the ball isn´t going his way, or he ignores the ball and doesen´t take advantage of his position, then its not an offside.

A player is in an offside position if "he is nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second to last opponent," unless he is in his own half of the field of play. A player level with the second last opponent is considered to be in an onside position. Note that the last two opposing players can be either the goalkeeper and an outfield player, or two outfield players. Also note that offside position is determined when the ball is touched/played by a team-mate — a player's offside position status is not then altered by them or opposing players running forwards or backwards. It is important to note that being in an offside position is not an offence in itself. Another important point to note is that any player's offside position status is reset when an opponent touches the ball and is deemed by the referee to be in control of the ball.

I'm no expert, but I think it's when the forwads on one team move behind the defenders on the other team without the ball or before the ball moves behind the defense.

If a forward is passed the ball when there are no defenders between him and the goalie. Plain and simple.
