    You need to learn about layers among other things. Although Gimp can be a
    tough learn, there are now numerous Youtube and other help offerings
    available.

    Basically: Copy&Paste
    you get a floating layer which has has to be converted to a new layer.
    Sounds complicated, but is just a "click"

    Check with the manual "Layers".

    Specifically, go to the "Files" menu and select the
    "Open as layers" option. That will open a window
    allowing navigation to the location of whatever file is
    to be included. The image will be inserted as a layer,
    on top of whatever already existed.

    As others have suggested you will need to know about
    layers. The new layer can be cropped, or resized, or
    edited in any way you wish. It can be kept separate
    from other layers for editing purposes, and can be mixed
    for viewing purposes in multiple ways. Go to the
    Windows menu item and select the Layers option to open a
    window for manipulating Layers. There are also tools
    under the Layer menu item too.

    Eventually you'll want to merge all layers together to
    export the finished image to a file...

    Better yet, when you are done with your work, first save as an xcf file (the native gimp format), then merge down, and export as jpg. If later you don't like the jpg, open the xcf, which will have the layers unmerged.

    HTH.
