The Curvature of Space Affects the Motion of an Object
General relativity says that mass causes space to bend, and then the curvature of space tells masses how to move. There's a missing component there, rit which is that time is also curved by mass. And curving of time also contributes to this force of gravity. So gravity is an apparent force that comes not just from the bending of space, but also from the bends of time. The two work together because space time releaves one thing to create this effect of gravity.
