How do I copy some photos from my pictures to my iPhoto?

I have my picture file on my Mac and need to copy some of the pictures to my iPhoto folder. Not sure how to do this as I tried to merely copy an paste but it does not work?

Hello there @jasonru405. Welcome to iMore.

Are you saying that you have a folder in your Mac with photos and you want to put them in iCloud Photos? Should just be simple drag and drop from folder to photos app.
