4. Lest भी Conjunction of Purpose है जिसका अर्थ होता है-so that …..not (जिससे कि ……. नहीं); किन्तु इसके बाद May या Might का प्रयोग नहीं होता है, केवल
Should का प्रयोग होता है।

I laboured hard lest I should fail.
I will labour hard lest I should fail.

She will pass if she labours hard.
I shall be very happy if you attend the function.
