Yes, yes and yes.
Something I have found helpful with not only my 2yo but my 5yo as well is making a statement of fact rather than giving and order. For example "The blocks go in the bucket" followed by a demonstration, as opposed to "put the blocs in the bucket". Or "it would be yucky to slip and fall and hit your head wouldn't it?" instead of "stop doing that you'll hurt yourself".
