If one teaspoon of whole cloves is approximately equivalent to 0.75 teaspoons of ground cloves, then 0.50 teaspoons of whole cloves is equivalent to 0.375 teaspoons of ground cloves. If you do not have ground cloves, then a substitute to use is ground allspice.

nutmeg or allspice
Allspice - it's actually a spice in itself! You can substitute the spices cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves if you don't have any in the house, though the amounts are something that requires some experimentation!
Please let me know what proportions is use of spice to make all spice
A tablespoon of whole allspice is about 40 berries, and a tablespoon of ground allspice would be about 15-20. I would probably use two tablespoons and one teaspoon. Notice that many recipes call to cook with the whole berries and then take them out before eating, or else leave the berries in a marinade. If this is the case, ground allspice is not a good substitute. If you must use ground, you should probably only use half the amount or even less.
Allspice is a spice made from the dried unripe fruit of the Pimenta dioica plant, a tree native to the Greater Antilles, southern Mexico and Central America. The name "allspice" was coined by the English, who thought it combined the flavour of several aromatic spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. If you need a substitute for allspice combine equal parts of ground cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and black pepper. I would not substitute allspice for nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon unless you also need the peppery notes it will bring.

Allspice is a totally different spice from nutmeg or ginger, and as such tastes totally different. While the allspice is often used in conjunction with one of the two, it cannot replace either of them.
As a general rule you would use one half as much of a ground spice in a dish as opposed to the whole spice. But take care even the reduced amount of a ground spice may color your food a whole lot more than the whole spice would. I have turned gravy green with to much ground rosemary.
Allspice is a dried berry of a Jamaican plant, and used in both savoury and sweet dishes. you can substitute anything you want, depending on the flavour you want your dish to have. Possibly a mixture of pepper and cinnamon might give the same effect. "Allspice" is sometimes just a lazy way of writing "all spice", which really just means "mixed spice". Depending on the manufacturer, mixed spice will contain different ingredients, but the most common (and those you can use as a substitute) are nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.
To substitute for 1 teaspoon allspice, you can use either of the two following combinations:1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground cloves1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp. ground cloves, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
