Want this question answered?
1 tsp dried sage would be equal to about 2 tsp fresh sage Use dried if it will be cooked with the dish for a longer time. Use fresh more towards the end of the cooking.
Sage rubbed from a fresh plant is much stronger than dried ground sage. Fresh herbs are almost invariably stronger in flavor than dried.
Probably four, but I could be wrong.

Not really. Ground sage has had the dried leaves finely pulverized. You can see the leaves of dried sage. It can be crumbled and seen in the dish you are using it in. Ground sage blends in much like ground pepper.
There are ~68 sprigs per bunch and each bunch equals 1/2 cup chopped, so there is approx. 6.8 sprigs fresh per each teaspoon dried.
Not over 1 tsp. Ground is much stronger. Taste as you go.
Dried sage refers to the dried leaves of the sage plant. The leaves are then ground to a powder. So they're, basically, the same thing. Fresh sage leaves, however, are an entirely different matter.
Start with about 1/4 of that and adjust to taste. Dry herbs are much stronger than fresh ones, but it can be hard to give exact amounts as substitutes. Best to use less and adjust than to use too much and be stuck with an over spiced dish :)
