Please check the sentences

Hi everybody,

Are both sentences the same?
#1 I am too busy, I will be glad to answer your questions on another day.
#2 I am too busy, I will be glad to answer your questions on another.

I would like to know the correct sentence,
#3 Study well, lest you will fail.
#4 Study well, lest you should fail.

Thank you

Hi, Your first two sentences have a comma splice error. Also, I would replace too with very . The following are my revised versions: [Sorry, but] I am very busy [at the moment].

— Regards

Hi,

Also, I would replace too with very.

The following are my revised versions:

[Sorry, but] I am very busy [at the moment]. I will be glad to answer your questions another time.

Study well lest you (*should) fail.

*Should is optional. Personally, I would omit it.
