The use of que.
What is the actual correct use of que? I understand it means "what", however, i have seen it used in mid sentence, such as "Voy de compras a la tienda que está en la esquina". Does the use of "que" act as a conjunction'

OK, I agree. I was just pointing out that thing of "que" as "what" might lead to confusion.

que without an accent is closer to "that" than to "what." Literally: I am going shopping to the store THAT is on the corner.
Well, he asked whether it is a conjunction, and here it is not. It is a pronoun, and it is the subject of the subordinate clause. Conjunctions cannot be subjects.

La tienda está en la esquina --> que está en la esquina = de la esquina
Voy de compras a la tienda de la esquina.
Voy de compras a la tienda que está en la esquina.
que has many meanings depending on the context:
In this case: que is a relative pronoun.
La tienda
