Hello, teachers!!

(1) He remained silent.
(2) He seemed silent.
(3) He came silent.

I know that (1) and (2) are correct, but how about (3)? I think that (3) is correct grammatically, but I am not sure.

Is "He came into silence" better English?

Thank you so much.

Could you explain the context of your statement?

Dear suesummers:

Thank you so much for your time.

I just wanted to know whether (3) is correct or not. There is no context, I mean, (1) He remained silent is correct, so I thought that (3) was also correct.

Thank you in advance.
