1 I hope she will speaks well of me to the dean. OK

Either:
I hope she will speak well of me to the dean.

Or:
I hope she speaks well of me to the dean.

2 I tend to only see the good of people.

Thank you,

But for the last one,

What if I were to say

Who do you want to win? Him or her? (This doesn't make sense to me)

I'd say

Who do you want to see win? Him or her?

Am I right?

Both are correct. Personally, I would probably use the first one "Who do you want to win?"

"Who do you want to win? Mike Tyson or that new guy?"

I'm reading the sentence and thinking it's missing something.

I'd say

Who do you want to beat up? I want to beat him up

Who do you want to win ? I want to win him that doesn't make sense.

I want them to win. this makes sense which is why "Who do you want to win?" doesn't make sense to me even though I've heard people say it.
