The correct sentence should be:

They teach English but my sister teaches Mathematics.

* This follows the rule of Agreement of the verb with the subject.

* In case of singular subjects, a singular verb is required and for plural subject, a plural verb is required.

* In this case, 'they' is a plural subject and so the plural verb 'teach' has been used whereas in the second case 'sister' is a singular subject so a singular verb 'teaches' has been used.

‘They teach English but my sister teaches mathematics’.

Explanation:

  • In this sentence a conjunction 'but' is used to combine ‘two sentences’ which deals with the subject taught by the sister and others.  
  • They is used to indicate a plural number of people. When the number of objects is more than one then the verb should be singular.  
  • Similarly 'my sister' indicates only one person. Hence the verb is plural.  Since the first verb is in present tense, the second verb should also be in present tense. So the word 'teaches' is used in the blank.
