How should I read this clue?

How should I read this clue?

A “precious stone” is a gemstone or jewel, especially a valuable mineral used in jewelry. The clue may also refer to a specific stone, such as diamond, beryl, garnet, or another named gem. Read this as a straightforward definition, but note that it is broad: the answer could be a general term or a particular gemstone. Use the entry length and crossing letters to distinguish among possibilities; singular wording usually calls for a singular answer.

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.
