Whoever - conjunction?
Hi. Please tell me if the word "whoever" is a conjunction or not in this sentence.
Whoever doing this is the one who is going to get punished.
As a different question, I think we could write "going to be punished" instead of "going to get punished" (although that would create a slight difference in meaning and effect). To me, the phrase "get punished" in the context it is used adds "dynamic nature" (I am not sure I have used the quoted phrase "dynamic nature" to reflect what I wanted to say, though).

Hi. I took a look at this post again and this time I have an additional question.
Would you say this is incorrect? Please look at the underlined sentence. I changed the original sentence "Whoever doing this is the one who is going to get punished" by adding the word "is" to the sentence.
Hypothetical situation:
(in a classroom)
The teacher is not in the classro
