I have a question about the following sentence and I must ask it, for as long as I don't know the answer, I will not put my mind at rest.
"What you once were, what you once suffered do not have to stick to you."
In every other language that I know it would not be do but does. And even if the sentence would read: "What you once were and what you once suffered ...," it would still be singular.
Is do correct or does it have to be does?
