Abstract

Linguistically, the time is one of the most important indicators 
that affected the ancient Egyptian sentence, as well as the 
temporal indicators and connotations that express the time of 
sentence are among the most important components and 
linguistic elements had a great influence on the ancient Egyptian 
language. The importance of sentence time as well as the 
temporal significance of the sentence in ancient Egyptian 
language is not possible to short sighted when studying formulas 
and structures in an abstract formula from the content and context 
of the sentence. Rather, it is necessary to look at the temporal 
connotations and significance of verbs and auxiliary verbs 
emerged in the ancient Egyptian language from the prospective 
of the context of the sentence contained therein, where there are 
verbal as well as moral clues and components that make an 
effective contribution to determining the meaning of the time and 
temporal connotation in the ancient Egyptian sentence. The time 
of sentence can be divided linguistically according to formulas, 
structures and temporal significance through three categories;
past, present and future. The verbs and auxiliary verbs in the 
ancient Egyptian language are considered the most important 
connotation of the temporal significance affecting the time of the 
ancient Egyptian sentence, where there are many temporal 
indicators as well as linking tools with temporal connotation and 
significance.
