Just bought a few plants from a local shop but the guy wasn't sure of their type :/

Please can someone ID the following 2 plants?

I'm hoping the grass like one is some form of carpeting plant. If you see in the large image I'm wanting to carpet the whole of the left side upto the sand. I've got some java fern on bog wood to mix the right side up a bit once the wood has soaked up enough water to sink properly.

they do all right to carpet. although from my experience there very invasive and have a large ish gap between plants...
this is my tank with them at the bottom... its only been planted up a few days ago but you can see the effect they give

they are also in the signature picture at the back

if you want a carpting plant. theres afew which you can use... that a t5 light? so its a high light tank?
if so you could try
* hemianthus callitrichoides
*dwarf hair grass (theres a few types)
* riccia (tied down)
* java moss (tied down)
and afew more.. the swords will carpet a bit
