Absolutely! This is the primary function of most home routers.
A home router will normally share it's internet connection by default. You could block access to the internet, in which case the computers on your LAN (eg in your house) can still talk to each other through the router, but not to computers outside (ie on the internet).
In order to share you must make sure that NAT (Network Address Translation) is enabled. Many home and home/office routers enable this by default and will allow you to share an internet connection out of the box, but some do not. You will have to look for this in the configuration of the device, usually in the WAN or Internet page/tab of the device settings.
