a quick question:
Don't let the sun go down in your heart, my child, lest fear and woe would follow in your wake.
Is the above sentence correct, mainly the 'lest' part? English is not my native language. I am also uncertain about the use of the word 'would'.
Thanks in advance!
Answer
It's: "lest fear and woe follow in your wake". "Lest" is followed by an infinitive phrase with a bare infinitive. Otherwise it's fine !
