that's a pretty broad question, can you specify? In general a good rule of thumb for telling which is which is to try and imagine if you can project the image somewhere. If you can, then it's real. So if you send converging rays of light onto a plane mirror, they won't be altered and you would be able to project them onto a wall. In general however, when you stand in front of a mirror and look into it what you see is an image you can't project. It looks as if the image is inside the mirror itself. That's what's called a virtual image.
