Black always to brass/gold/black terminal

Neutral to usually silver

Ground to well ground

Edit: The other set is running to whatever you are switching on/off so dont worry about it



Bumped for added image to OP.

You sure that wasn't a 3 way switch?

Looks like you have a hot, neutral and a traveler. The other two are either the feed for the 3 way or supplying another outlet or switch on the circuit.

I also don't see a ground in the picture.
