Got these plants from the LFS today and re-did my tank. I need help classifying the three kinds of plants I got so I can look up how to care for them. New to live plants

Thanks in advance!

Picture 1 is Corkscrew Val, pic 2 is White Ribbon Plant which is not aquatic. You need to remove it from the tank. Pic 3 looks like Green Temple (Hygrophilia corymbosa) in it's emersed form.
 
#3 looks more like ludwigia repens emersed to me. The leaf shape is wrong for hygrophila corymbosa.
 
My guess for #3 is cherry hedge aka alternanthera ficodeia, another semi aquatic like #2.

You positive that is the same plant?
 
Ludwigia repens and alternanthera ficoidea are both strong possibilities. I would feel comfortable saying it was either for sure with just the picture given.
 
Two new plants in there. And the other plant you guys ask for more pictures

I'm thinking the first 2 pics is Echinodorus Curdifolius (Tropica Marble Queen Sword), the next two look to me like Ludwigia Repens. The last four pics I don't know
