I mean time is not supposed to be an object. Light are some sort of particles so they can be effected and then bended with gravity and being pulled into the black hole, but time is a measurement (of time), and is not a particle, so how can it be bent by gravity?

Time does not bend. What you are thinking of when it comes to high gravity like black holes is Space-Time.
Space-Time is a mathematical model used in physics that combines space and time into a single construct called the space-time continuum. It's to make the math a bit easier. And to simplify most of physical theory, as well as describe in a more uniform way the workings of the universe.
It really has nothing to do with "Time" as the measurement we all know and love.

Time is not bent by gravity bit gravity affects the way we measure time.

Time is just the "fourth dimension" by which we measure "things"; even "things" aren't really solid objects, they just appear that way to us.
