Is correct to say I want make him speak English?

No, it's not grammatically correct to say "I want make him speak English."

Here's why and some better options:

* Missing auxiliary verb: You need the auxiliary verb "to" before "make."

* Subject-verb agreement: "I want" is the correct subject-verb agreement.

Here are some ways to express the same idea correctly:

* "I want to make him speak English." (This is the most direct and natural way to say it.)

* "I want him to speak English." (This emphasizes the goal of him speaking English.)

* "I'm trying to get him to speak English." (This suggests you're putting effort into it.)

* "I'd like him to learn English." (This is a more polite and indirect way to say it.)

The best option depends on the context and how you want to convey your intent.
