Well, honey, 2 tablespoons of fresh sage is roughly equivalent to about 1 tablespoon of ground sage. But let's be real, fresh sage is always gonna pack more flavor punch than its dried counterpart, so adjust to taste and don't stress about the exact measurements. Just trust your gut and season that dish like the boss you are!
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.
To substitute ground sage for fresh sage leaves, use about one teaspoon of ground sage for every tablespoon of fresh sage leaves. This is because ground spices are more concentrated than fresh herbs. If you’re using dried sage leaves instead, the conversion is similar, with one tablespoon of dried sage equating to one teaspoon of ground sage. Adjust according to taste, as the flavor intensity may vary.
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.
Well, honey, when it comes to fresh sage versus dry sage, you gotta remember that fresh herbs are more potent than dried ones. So, if a recipe calls for a quarter cup of fresh sage, you'll wanna use about a tablespoon of dried sage as a substitute. Just keep in mind that dried herbs are more concentrated, so adjust to taste, darling.
Not over 1 tsp. Ground is much stronger. Taste as you go.
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.
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 :)
