The same way you would in a PC. With the mouse, click and drag to highlight the area to be copied, right click to select copy or click on Edit and select the copy option. Afterwards, click on the place where you want to copied item to be placed, and then either right click or use the edit option to paste it.

Welcome to iMore! You can use the keyboard too:
Copy: COMMAND-C
Cut: COMMAND-X
Paste: COMMAND-V

There are a bunch more useful keyboard shortcuts here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201236

Yeah Just Press CTRL + C and then for pasting you could press CTRL + V from your keyboard.

OP is using a Mac, not a PC. Those won't work.
