Force makes objects change their direction. Though this does not mean without force all would be still as the man before me has said (There would be nothing to be still). It gives people the wrong idea of the term force. Now, one could say acceleration is change in direction. If some thing goes up because you throw it in the air then gravity (gravitational force), exclude air resistance slows the object down until it defeats the force from your hand and the object returns to earth. This is due to the force of gravity from the earth pulling the ball down to the earth and changing the objects direction or acceleration so its decreases the magnitude of acceleration and also changes it's direction towards the earth. As acceleration has magnitude and direction. So this shows that an object could move without force acting on it though the acceleration and magnitude of the force would never alter. It only seems that force makes motion because the frictional force that opposes you changes your direction to stationary. Forces can also deform objects as the impulse of the force can break bonds in solids.This is all summed up in Newton's first law of motion but I am going to say all 3 laws:

Law 1: If no net force acts on a body then it can not ACCELERATE.

Law 2: The net force on a body is equal to the product of the bodies mass and acceleration. I.e. F = M x A

Law 3: When two bodies interact, the forces from each other are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.
