The 4 wire cable will have two hots, a neutral and a safety ground. The two hots are on opposite sides of the line and there is 240 volts between them. But between each hot and neutral there is 120 volts. So you connect each 120 volt outlet between its own hot and the common neutral. The ground must be connected to the safety ground of the outlets. Never connect the neutral of the outlet to the safety ground and never connect the ground and the neutral together except at the electrical panel.
