#3 looks like wild strawberry to me
and #4 looks like comfrey leaf.......but again without the flower or more plant to look at its very hard to guess at what it could be.

I think the yellow flowered one is Wood Avens http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geum_urbanum

It's hard to say what the others are. You are right about the random leaf, it is definitely a random leaf
It may be a dandelion but it's easier if the rest of the plant was there. If there's any sign of dandy stalks then that's what it is.

This is a good site by the way http://kernoweb.myby.co.uk/snapshots/flora-flowers6.htm

#6 might be elder but not if that's the beginnings of a purple flower appearing on it.

I have my doubts about the wild strawberry one being wild strawberry, it would definitely have flowers and/or berries on it now if it was
