Can you see reflective materials with out light why?

No. Reflective (only) materials DON'T shine by themselves, but are good at bouncing light around. Put them somewhere COMPLETELY dark, and it'll remain like that. But if there's only a little light falling onto them, that light will very efficiently be bounced back.

How does a plain mirror form a virtual image?

As you may know the only reason we see anything is because light is reflected off it. Turn the light off in your room and you see "nothing", turn it on and everything is visible (mostly). Mirrors are highly reflective surfaces, so any light that hits them will bounce back as if it copying said light. As surfaces get less and less reflective you will be able to see a less distinctive image back, for example aluminum or titanium.
