A basic two-way switch is pretty straight forward. You'll only have three screws. The green is for the ground wire and the other two on either side are for the black (hot) wire. The white (neutral) wire is not connected to it (it is typically just wire-nutted in the box). The idea behind a switch is that it opens or closes the connection on the black wire when you flip it.
