Meteors appear to come in showers. This is because most are born from comets and as the comet travels, it throws off pieces of rock, which then fall toward Earth, similar to the way water falls in the shower.
They're generally named for the constellation they appear to originate from. For example, the Leonids appear to radiate from a location in the constellation Leo, and the Perseids from a location in the constellation Perseus.

The Leonid meteor showers are so named because they appear to radiate from near the constellation Leo in the night sky. Most of the periodic meteor showers are named based on the area of the sky from which they appear.
"Falling Stars" can happen at ANY time; including right now. There are several "meteor showers", which do happen on regular dates. They are named for the constellation from which they appear to originate. Meteor showers occur whenever the Earth passes through, or near, the path of an old comet. It is likely that the meteors we see are ancient comet dust striking the Earth. The next is apparently the Lyrids, on April 20.
While I cannot attest to a particular date, there is scientific basis for scientists predicting meteor showers. Meteors are small bits of rock and/or metal burning up in Earth's atmosphere. Meteor showers occur when Earth's orbit brings it through a cloud of such small objects, since scientists know where these clouds are, they can predict meteor showers.

The radiant is a point from where meteors seem to come from. The meteor showers are named after where that point appears to be in the sky. In reality, they have no connection to the constellations they are named after.

They are meteors in the meteor showers associated with the constellation "Sextans".
They appear when Earth passes through a dirty part of space, usually through the trail left by a comet. There are particular times of year as we orbit the Sun that we pass through these areas of space. The Perseid Meteor Shower occurs in August, for example. The Leonids occur in November. They usually have a peak night, but you will see meteors on other nights around the peak. Some meteor showers are better than others and factors like weather and what phase the Moon is at will influence how much you can see and how bright some of the meteors will appear to be. Check the link below for a list of meteor showers and when the happen.
Yes, meteors are true. You can see them. If you go out on any dark clear night you have to chance to see them, especially when there are meteor showers.

No one can give you a specific time. Shooting stars or meteors, are bits of debris that hit the atmosphere and burn. Timing is impossible, however, there are meteor showers where the probability is higher that they will occur.
To appear like they were showers.
Periodic showers which, due to their position and trajectory, appear to originate from specific constellations are named for that constellation.
