Abstract

Our ultimate purpose in this work is the study of the French temporal system in parallel with the Arabic one. This parallelism revealed similarities as well as differences concerning the functioning of both verbal systems at the level of the transformations in the verbal sentence made by mood, tenses and aspects. In this article, we will try to clarify the similarities and the differences between both temporal systems and the corresponding tenses in Arabic. Second, we are going to create a machine translation system where we try to consider the temporal specificities of every language and to solve the problem related to the agreement in person and number.
