Em questão dos quantifiers é correto usar o NO na frente das seguintes frases?
No children go to school on Saturdays ou No young people go to college ou No married couples have more than five children ou No elderly people have part-time jobs ou No students have full-time jobs. Por que sempre vemos o "No" com No dogs allowed, No kids allowed ou até mesmo "No one" is perfect, etc.
Vi em um livro essas opções para preencher junto com few, a lot of, most, nearly all... Todos no início de frase. O resto achei ok, fiquei achando engraçado o uso do "NO" assim no início sem o one. É possível?
Obrigado.

Yes.
No children go to school on Saturdays. (not 'to the' school, though.) - same as "not a child..."
No young people go to college. (it would be usual elaborating where or the causes)
And the same goes to the other sentences.
As for the sentences in an exercise it would be necessary to see those to see the more suitable choices of wording to them, in a case by case basis.
In general, we think of "no" (as a quantifier/delimiter) as in the sense of "zero" cases.
"No" comes before plural form, but in more formal settings it comes in the singular one: as in "No person can enter the premises after hours." (instead of 'persons'.)
