Welcome to the Apple Support Communities.


This is a simple adapter for what you need: USB-C to USB Adapter - Apple.


You could also look at a dock for more ports, such as the CalDigit TS3 Plus Dock - Apple or the CalDigit Thunderbolt 3 Mini Dock - Apple.

apart from what the rest says then you realise that the thunderbolt ports are at the same time usb-4 ports using the usb-c connector which both thunderbolt and usb-3 and usb-4 uses and one can get converters from usb-c to usb-a (the port you likely view as an usb port)
