This may be a stupid question but I am stuck on something in grammar that I learned before but forgot... It´s a bit difficult to explain but I will try my best... to explain with examples.
´They were coming´ = geliyor-lar-dı ... in this case the ´dı´ is imek-form, and these come after ´ler/lar´...
But my question is the next example... ´They have come´. Is it gel-ler-di (and is the ´di´ again too ´weak´ to break up ´lar´?) Or is it gel-di-ler (and is the ´di´ this time ´stronger´ because it´s not an imek-form this time?
I really need this answer so I hope someone can answer soon... Sorry if it´s a stupid question.

its not stupid. in "geli yor lar dı", there are two tenses. yor and dı. bileşik zaman. in "gel di ler" there is only one tense. dı.
ler comes after the first tense because the second tense, the "ek fiil", comes to the end of the word. gelmişlerdi, gelirlerdi, etc these are actually all gelmişler idi, gelirler idi etc. so the second tense comes to the end of the word, after everything.

So ler always comes after the first tense? So the correct answer to my second example is ´geldiler´?

Oh I guess my professor is wrong because I have in my notes right in front of me ´geliyorlardı´. That ler/lar exceptionally comes before ´dı´ here because it´s an imek-form, a ´help-tense´ :-/
But thank you!!

Yes it is past of i-mek form. But there is no such a rule ler must come before it. At least I havent heart such a rule. Also you can look at the link I gave you for verb conjugations. It is like I said there too.

actually both works
Past Progressive, narrative
ben geliyordum sen geliyordun o geliyordu biz geliyorduk siz geliyordunuz onlar geliyordular; geliyorlardı
Örnek: Bir güzelin hayranı i-di-m>hayranıydım, hayranı idik>hayranıydık Zeki idi>zekiydi Ali imiş>Ali’ymiş, Hasta ise>hastaysa, Nöbetçi iken>nöbetçiyken, Merhametli imişler>merhametliymişler Merhametliler imiş>merhametlilermiş

Yeah it looks like both of them work but why only for third person plural? Only a misuse of suffix can explain it. This misuse became common in time I guess.

I think the reason is that in most Turkic accents in the past, personal suffixes came before ekfiil. But in Ottoman it always came after. So I think its a matter of accent.
But according to todays rules it should come final. So the professor and me are indeed wrong

onlar geliyordular, onlar geliyorlardı.
Although "geliyordular" is correct, "geliyorlardı" is more natural. Prefer "geliyorlardı"

It must have something to do with the double life of LAR as a plural marker and as a personal ending.
LAR looks confusingly innocent but learners be warned it is not.

Actually it is only for plural. In personal endings, it makes "o" (he/she/it) plural as "onlar"
for "o" singular there is no personal ending in "geliyor" (he is coming), when we make plural we add "-lar" to non-exist third singular pronoun. and the result "geliyorlar" (they are coming)

I think abla meant personal (what you are saying personal plural, onlar) and plural (kitaplar)..
