Answers:

(a) Walk fast lest you should miss the train.
(b) I saw the baby sleeping peacefully in the cradle.
(c) Ten years have passed since my grandfather died.
(d) Though he works hard, he does not get good results.
(e) If I were a bird, I would fly freely in the blue sky!

Rules:

1. (a) "lest" is followed by "should" + base verb, and expresses a negative purpose.
2. (b) "saw the baby" + participle: "sleeping".
3. (c) "since" + past simple, as the main clause is in the present perfect.
4. (d) "Though" clause takes a contrasting main clause without "but".
5. (e) "If I were" (unreal condition): would + base verb in the result clause.
