No, the word John's is a noun, a possessive, proper noun, the name of a person indicating something belongs to this person by use of the apostrophe s ('s) at the end of the word. A proper noun is always capitalized.

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.

Examples:

  • Johnis a student at college. I miss him when he is away. (the pronouns 'he' and 'him' take the place of the noun 'John' in the second sentence)
  • John's grades are very good. (the possessive form of the noun 'John' = the grades of John)
  • John works hard to keep hisgrade average high. (the pronoun 'his' is a possessive adjective form, which takes the place of the noun 'John' = the grade average of John)
