Yes.
A noun is a person, place, thing or idea. (Although the idea thing confuses me.)
Can you talk to it? Hold it? Drive to it?

An idea is something we all acknowledge to be real, but you can't see it or touch it or smell it, etc. They are known as abstract nouns, such as these: truth, beauty, freedom, tragedy, joy, etc.
Concrete nouns are those you can see, touch, etc. -- man, woman, child, house, cat, building, etc. (all common nouns since they are general, not naming a particular man, woman, etc.). Other concrete nouns are proper nouns; they name specific people, places, things, and are capitalized: New York City, Janice, Paul, Kimmie, Houston High School for the Arts, etc.
