In this paper, it is extending the GD formalism associated with third-order δ differential operator L to time scale. Then the coupled Boussinesq equation on time-space scale is given by taking special values, and it can be reduced on different space-time scales. What’s more, the exact solutions of coupled Boussinesq equation on timespace scale and the classical Boussinesq equation are constructed via employing the extensions of Darboux theorem and Crum theorem on time scale
