What are the two possibilities for an image formed by a convex lens?

Convex (I prefer converging lenses) lenses are thicker in the middle than at the edges. This causes the rays to converge towards the principle axis (line running through the center of the lens perpendicular to the surface). two images will be formed. When the object you are viewing is farther from the lens than the focal length you will have an inverted real image. This image can be enlarged (when the object is between the focal length and twice the focal length), the same size (when the object is twice the focal length from the lens) or reduced (when the object is beyond twice the focal length). When the object is closer to the lens than the focal length you are using the lense as a magnifying glass and you will have an upright virtual image.
