lest for fear that will wold
Hi,
-He put his money in the safe for fear that(lest) it would be stolen.
-I will call him for fear that(lest) he will forget to come.
-I will call him for fear that(lest) he forgets to come.
-She turned away from the window for fear that anyone should see her.
-She turned away from the window for fear that anyone see her.
I have been trying to seach the right structures of these for 1 hour, but still, I haven't been able to find the right answers. Please help me if they are grammatically OK or not.
Thanks.

Re: lest for fear that will wold
I wouldn't use "lest," it is not a very common word nowadays.

Re: lest for fear that will wold
I understand, but are the sentences grammatically OK? I just would like to know if I could construct the sentences correctly or not.

-She turned away from the window for fear that anyone should see her. OK
-She turned away from the window for fear that anyone see her. Not OK.

They are all unlikely in modern English.
