What's the idiomatic way of describing a question by its recipient?
Is "pointed on [someone]" idiomatic?
He willingly answers his teacher's questions that are pointed individually on him, but usually doesn't take much initiative in answering questions pointed on the whole class in general.
We don't "point on someone", although when we "point at someone" it means a gesture with a finger.
One "asks" a question, and it can be (verb) "directed" at someone.
The sentence could be
He willingly answers his teacher's questions that are directed at him, but usually doesn't take much initiative in answering questions asked of the whole class.
