How should I read this clue?

How should I read this clue?

The clue refers broadly to a fundamental or subatomic particle, such as an electron, muon, neutrino, or boson. It may also be using “elementary” simply to mean basic or introductory. Read this as a likely straightforward science definition, but it is quite broad: the answer could be a specific particle or a general category. Use the entry length and crossing letters to distinguish among the possible particle names; capitalization is not significant in a crossword.

Which details in the clue should I look out for?

Which details in the clue should I look out for?

Small details in the wording can help you figure out what form the answer should take. Look for these three signals:

Tense: When does the action happen?

A past-tense clue usually calls for a past-tense answer: "Moved quickly" could be SPED, while "Moves quickly" could be SPEEDS. Match the tense, even when the answer uses an irregular form rather than ending in -ED.

Part of speech: What kind of word do you need?

A noun usually calls for a noun, a verb for a verb, and an adjective for an adjective. For example, "Happiness" could be JOY, "Make happy" could be PLEASE, and "Happy" could be GLAD. Read the whole phrase! Some words can function as more than one part of speech.

Number: One or more than one?

A singular clue usually needs a singular answer, while a plural clue usually needs a plural answer. "Child" could be TOT; "Children" could be TOTS. Remember that not every plural ends in -S: "Male adults" could be MEN, and words like SHEEP can be singular or plural.
