Please explain to me the grammatical form and function of "making".

Is "you making mistakes" a clause?

Thanks

This is not how to do it and will result [ in your answers looking unnatural and you making mistakes ] . Yes, it is a clause in which "making" is a verb functioning as predicator. The bracketed expression is a preposition phrase whose head "in" has a coordination of the two underlined subordinate clauses as its complement.
