Solution

The shift that would not involve moving from a weak form of a verb to a stronger form is "active conditional to infinitive".

Here's why:

  1. Nominalization to active indicative: This is a shift from a weaker form to a stronger form. Nominalization is a process that turns a verb into a noun, which is generally considered a weaker form. The active indicative form of a verb is a stronger form because it directly states an action.

  2. Expression of condition to gerund: This is also a shift from a weaker form to a stronger form. An expression of condition is a weaker form because it only suggests a possible action, while a gerund, which is a verb form that functions as a noun, is a stronger form because it can stand on its own as a subject or object.

  3. Active conditional to imperative: This is a shift from a weaker form to a stronger form. An active conditional verb form expresses a condition that must be met for something to happen, which is a weaker form. The imperative form of a verb is a stronger form because it gives a direct command.

  4. Active conditional to infinitive: This is not a shift from a weaker form to a stronger form. Both active conditional and infinitive verb forms are considered weaker forms. The active conditional form expresses a condition that must be met for something to happen, while the infinitive form is the base form of a verb that can function as a noun, adjective, or adverb. Therefore, moving from active conditional to infinitive would not involve a shift
