1882 - Triple Alliance between Germany, Austria-Hungry, and Italy is made.
This makes Russia and France nervous....
So in 1894 the Franco- Russian Alliance was a military alliance that basically said - if Germany attacks one of us the other country will come to its aid. That means France and Russia would "bookend" Germany and it would have to fight a war on two fronts....
Which it did in World War I, hence the Eastern and Western Fronts.
The Triple Entente linked the United Kigndom, the French Third Republic, and the Russian Empire in 1907, following the signing of the Anglo-Russian Entente. With agreements from Portugal and Japan, this alliance was a strong opposition to Germany's, Austria-Hungary's, and the Kingdom of Italy's Triple Alliance. In 1914, all three of the Triple Entente entered World War I as Allies against Germany and Austria-Hungary.

explain the problem that the french were having with Germany
Germany sought to break up the French-Russian alliance and was fully prepared to take the risk that this would bring about a major war. Some in the German elite welcomed the prospect of beginning an expansionist war of conquest.

The Franco-Russian Alliance went back to a Treaty in 1892. The Germans, Austro-Hungarians and Italians had entered into the "Triple Alliance" in 1882, leaving Russia isolated. The French had felt isolated since starting, and losing, the Franco-Prussian War in 1870. So their alliance was a counter-balance to the Triple Alliance.
The Triple Entente ("entente" — French for "understanding") was the alliance formed in 1907 among the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the French Third Republic and the Russian Empire after the signing of the Anglo-Russian Entente.

No, the British, French, and Russians did not form an alliance called the Central Powers. The Central Powers refers to the alliance of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire during World War I. The British, French, and Russians were part of the opposing alliance known as the Allies.
The French word for covenant is "alliance".
The Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente were formed after the Franco Prussian War (1870-1871). Germany annexed the French provinces of Alsace and Lorraine, which incurred French hatred. France was also fearful of Germany' military might. The German army had defeated the French army in a matter of weeks. In order to protect themselves from military aggression and ensure their security, both Germany and France reached out to neighboring countries for allies. Russia was rivals with Austria-Hungary because they both wanted to extend their influence into the Balkans. This prevented an Austrian and Russian alliance. Russia sided with France and Austria sided with Germany. The rise of German imperialism in the late 19th century prompted Britain to join France and Russia, in order to protect their empire. France and Italy were also rivals for imperial influence in northern Africa, which is why Italy allied itself with Germany and Austria.
