BA's and 3-wire cords

For those of us who are not electricians, would somebody please explain
two phase versus three phase current and also what is meant by neutral
lead, and ground? If it were DC it would be positive + and negative -
but with AC it alternates.

Simple explanations appreciated.

Thanks,

Bill Howard
