Volcanic eruptions, yes: it's been done for hundreds of years now, and the methods have only got more accurate and reliable.

Earthquakes: no, there's no way we could currently do it (unless some serious thought and development happened) well enough to say "in this month" let alone in any decent time period.

The timing of an earthquake cannot be predicted. They typically occur in the same locations as past earthquakes, i.e. along faults, but science has not advanced to the point of being able to predict earthquakes.

They can but are usually not accurate. Scientists are now in the process of finding out how to tell if an earthquake will happen. I think they think cockaroaches can sense it.

Can scientist predict earthquakes?

Earthquake prediction is currently not possible, as such, seismologists will attempt to quantify the risk posed by a particular fault zone rather than state exactly when an earthquake will occur. For more information, please see the related question.

An oral or written account of previous earthquake activity and location in, near or on the meeting of tectonic or lithospheric plates may serve to predict the location of a future earthquake.
