The third one should be garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) . If you rub the leaves between your fingers, does it smell a bit like garlic?

The first one is celandine. Dies it have orange sap? In the poppy family & toxic.

2nd one maybe in the buttercup family, so no.

Third is garlic mustard. It can be fed. The last may be ground elder but I'm not sure. It's okay to feed if it is.
