Is it ok?

hi everybody, i have a question, i have to order the following expressions, which of them mean 1- DIE 2- A DEAD PERSON or 3- DEAD ?
and the expressions are:
- pass on (die)
- the late Sheelahg Graham (a dead person)
- pass away (deaddie)
- kick the bucket (die)
- give up the ghost (die)
- at peace (dead)
- the deceased (dead a dead person)
Am I right?

 

'A dead person/Die' ... I wonder how the questioner differentiates dead person from dead.  The dead person is also dead.  Changing the tensed of the verbs also changes 'die' to 'dead' .  'The deceased' refers usually to a dead person, who has died recently.
