conjunction or starting word of subordinate clause?

0Hi,02br
02br
00I found out that the word 'wherever' or 'whoever' is a conjunction and an example in use might be this:02br
02br
01i00Some people enjoy spending mony01font00 01u00wherever 02u00they are02font00.02i02br
02br
00To me, the colored part looks like a subordinate clause like 'when they are down."02br
02br
00How could I tell if if a particular one like the underlined word in the colored part 'wherever' is a conjunction, or like a starting word?? of a subordiante clause like 'when they are down'? Should I go for the definition of a conjunction? It saying to be a word or phrase that connects clauses does help much. 0-

00In the example you gave 'wherever' separates two clauses, which is why is functions as a conjunction.02br

10 What you are calling a "starting word" is, in fact, a conjunction!02br
