This is easy. If you have a meter, or a test lamp, create a circuit by touching each conductor, that means wire, to the bare ground wire. You have to do this with the circuit live, so watch out.

HUH???
....................14/3 has four wires in it...A Black, a Red, a White, and a bare copper......Most people use the Black, White, and ground for receptacles.......put a wire nut on the
red one all the way down the line, and leave it alone......
When wiring the receptacles, the Black =Hot and it goeson the BRASS screw, or the side of the receptacle with the SMALLER slot.......the White=neutral and goes on the SILVER screw, or the side of the receptacle with the LARGER slot, and the bare copper get's put on the GREEN screw, which is the ground.......
