Clove or a head?

Yes, indeed, a garlic clove is very different from a head of garlic. Confusing a clove for a head of garlic can have pretty disastrous consequences in the kitchen.

A head is huge, cloves come in little clumps.

It depends on the variety, but some heads of garlic have 30+ cloves.

Unless you're roasting garlic, pretty much every recipe will call for a few cloves of garlic, which are the smaller pieces that you break a head into.
