It itself isn't plural but it has the suffix on it to match the plural subject (just like how you can say "Onlar çalışıyorlar)
Would it be wrong if I said 'kumsaldalar temmuzda' ? Does the month have to come first?
OK, thanks for clarifying. Because that's what I wrote and it marked it as incorrect.
I don't think we'll add this, that's a very weird way to say it; which we could use in daily speech maybe, but it is weird to write like this unless you are writing a poem. But the "yüklem"(predicative) of this sentence is "kumsaldalar" and it should come at the end of the sentence.
It would be a bit weird unless you are making a strong assumption that they are they.

Duolingo should not say "You used the wrong word" when you use the right words in the wrong order.
It is in a way acting as the verb in the sentence (the -lar is like the verb "to be")
hello :) i may be incorrect as i'm still learning but the things i find possible to make your sentence marked incorrect are : it may be because it's assuming that your mother is going with her mother (anneanne), it would be plajlarda to match the ending for they : onlar (-lar) and the -dir suffix makes it a statement of fact, and a bit like they are there the entire time and nowhere else. i hope that helps!
