Hey, shame on you trying to jump the line. Wait till your turn comes.

I'd like to know if "Feel" is omitted before "shame" and "trying" modifies "you."
Thank you in advance for your help.

park sang joon I'd like to know if "Feel" is omitted before "shame" No. " Trying is the main verb in the non-finite clause trying to jump the line . The clause gives the reason why you think the listener should be ashamed, and should be set off by punctuation: Shame on you, trying to jump the line.

1. Hey, shame on you trying to jump the line.
3. Who the **** do you think you are telling me tat? Huh? Don't come the moralist with me!

I'd like to know the participle phrase of #1 is similar to that of #2 in the role.

Yes, similar.
