Overview
Analysing the first sentence identifies the imperatives "come on" (this is also a phrasal verb) and "look". This shows that Evie is in control.
Grandma sets the agenda "now what are you going to do" this is influential power.
Grandma uses positive reinforcement when she praises Evie by using "Very good" this makes Evie feel confident.
There is a change in conversation, Grandma uses an open question "who's in the castle? this exercises and shows of influential power .Grandma chooses when she wants to change the conversation but let's Evie choose just to keep Evie interested.
Grandma uses a reformulation when Evie makes a virtuous sentence error "in square"Grandma tries to correct Evie and then succeeds.After Evie changes the topic to dogs.
Evie says "sit sit sit" this is modelling, she has clearly heard this before from a human to an animal being told to sit down she repeats the word to get it across to Grandma, she is the powerful participant and also uses the phrasal verb "come on" once more. She is confident in this phrase and feels like it must work to get to what she wants.
