i don’t know if i should trade my bishop for a knight , and my bishop and knight for a rook

That depends on the position. Is it (or can you make it) a position where the Knight or the Bishop is better? Deciding on these kind of questions is what makes a strong player.

Knights is often best in rather closed positions. In endgames they prefer pawns at only one flank. Together with a Queen the may be trickier than a Bishop.

Bishops trive in open positions. They may be bad when bloched by your own pawns. They may be strong together with their collegue (the Bishop pair).
