Combining a wordpress theme with an html theme

Question

I am new to wordpress development. I was wondering if I am able to combine an existing wordpress theme that I currently have on my website with an html template that I found through themeforest. Would I need to create an entirely new wordpress theme for this? Or could I just import the css files of the html theme and use the html elements accordingly?

Thanks!

You can edit your wordpress theme according to your desire by creating a child theme. See this link child theme

You can modify the theme according to your desire but you cant just copy paste any html template to wordpress and expect it to work.
