  • "Any children could not go to school' does not imply that there actually were any children that were prevented from going to school. The corresponding sentences with "all" and "every" do imply there were some children affected (in my opinion, anyhow). In this way, the version with "any" resembles the "all" quantifier of predicate logic.
