ok when i start to test and teach my self in unity i have been looking at unity basics videos and i was on the one where he puts a plane in(i think that is like ground) and a random cube and i now know that assets are like object you bring into the game and that you create assets in a program and import them into unity but how do i see all my assets and click and drag them into the world all i have is a few trees and water and thats it i want to try and teach myself how do create object ,rotate them , move them ect but i cant find where they are.
Say i want to bring a castle like building into the world, how would i?

I have a sneaking suspicion you may not be familiar enough with basic terminology and tools here given some of your phrasing, but here goes…

Do you have these assets already built in another program? If so, you need to export them into a format Unity can understand. Unity understands lots of formats, but the FBX format for 3D models is probably the most popular. (Unity often converts other formats to FBX format behind the scenes anyway.)

For your castle object, you need to go to the “Assets” menu and choose “Import New Asset…”, then choose the model file containing your file. You may see a window pop open asking you to confirm the import settings—they’re usually fine—and then it’ll import the new asset. Your model will now appear in the “Project” window and you can then drag it into your Scene.

You can find much more detail on the Unity workflow on this documentation page, but you do need to understand the basics. (As you seem to be a bit vague on 3D primitives, I suggest reading through this to get an idea of what “plane” objects are for.)

ok that helps but i dont have any other programs exept unity for creating games how can i get an asset from somewhere in unity to my game?
or do i need to import from a modeling program(i think)?

im going to be joining a team im just trying to teach my self before.
