Newtons Third Law: For each action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Newtons Third Law is the law I like to think of as the trampoline law, because it works like a trampoline. The force you give is the force you get. If you jump on a trampoline you are pushing force downward and then the trampoline pushes up against you to send you back upwards with the same force. That is what the third law is saying, if you push against something, it will push back with the same force.
