In general, interference is a deliberate act, with contact, to impede a receiver from catching a pass...or an act by a receiver to prevent defensing a pass (offensive pass interference).
It is most often hitting or grabbing the receiver before the pass arrives, or a receiver shoving a defender away. If the pass has not been thrown when a defensive penalty occurs, the lesser penalty of illegal contact will apply instead.
The rules are different in each level of play (high school, NCAA, NFL), as are the penalties applied.
There are two types of interference in football.
Defensive pass interference is when a defender covering a receiver touches and prevents a receiver from catching a ball which he could have caught.
Offensive pass interference is when an offensive player prevents a defensive player from intercepting the ball by touching or pushing him in any type of way to get him away from the football.
There are two types of interference: Offensive and Defensive.
Unfortunately, the rules are different in each level of play (high school, NCAA, NFL) as well.

Offensive pass interference is an illegal act (shoving, tripping) by a pass receiver against a defensive player. Typically it is used to create space between the receiver and the defender.
A related penalty can occur on a "pick" play where an offensive player blocks a defender who is covering a pass receiver. If the offensive player contacts the defensive player, it is likely to be called. If the offensive player merely blocks the defender's path, it is unlikely to be called.
It is when the defender pushes the receiver after the first 10 yards of the receiver's route
Roughing the passer, defensive pass interference, offsides
Yes.
Pass Interference
ofsides ,false start, and pass interference
In traditional flag football like traditional football there are no forward laterals. In Air Force Flag Football you can pass the ball both backwards and forwards as much as you want. Think of it like ultimate frisbee with a football.
interception
In the NFL, there is no such thing as pass interference (PI) on forward passes that do not go past the line scrimmage but I recently watched a college football game in which a PI was called on a forward that never reached the line of scrimmage even though I always believed that there is no such thing as PI if such pass was in the backfield (behind the line of scrimmage). So I am not clear on the rule concerning passes that do not cross the line of scrimmage, in college football.
Offense-Holding/False Start Defense- Pass Interference/Offside
Yes. As long as you do not touch the receiver of the pass or block his/her's vision of the ball. If you do touch or 'face guard' the opponent then you will be called for pass interference.
Flag football or touch football
Common football penalties include false start, offsides, holding, pass interference and delay of the game.
