When you have a plural  non-human subject , the verb has to be singular ( called "özne yüklem uyumu")

When it is people, verb can be plural or singular

 

 

e.g.

Kuşlar ötüyor. (NOT kuşlar ötüyorlar) / Birds are singing.

but

 

Ayşe´yle Deniz şarkı söylüyorlar. OR Ayşe´yle Deniz şarkı söylüyor. / Ayşe and Deniz are singing.

Both are correct.

 

 

By the way,

"Şunlar kırmızı halıydı" etc sounds weird since it means "those were red carpets"; so they were red carpets and what are they now  ?
