 [wptabcontent]555 As and Like.[/wptabcontent]
    [wptabcontent] Don't say: You don't look as your mother.
Say: You don't look like your mother.

As is a conjunction, and is usually followed by a noun or pronoun in the nominative case.
 Like isn't a conjunction, but an adjective which behaves like a preposition
 in being followed by a noun or pronoun in the objective case.
We use no meaning not any, as an adjective to qualify the noun. If the noun already qualified 
by an adjective, like any, much, enough, we must use the adverb not.

Note: We only use no as an adverb before a comparative: I have no more
to say. [/wptabcontent]

Say: It's so small that you can't see it.
foolish is an adjective, and can't be used with the article after the verb to be

 the verb must also be plural. Take care when a plural noun comes between a 
singular subject and its verb, as in the example above. [/wptabcontent]
