"Came" is past tense. All your other comparisons are in present tense.
Past tense:
He lived, everyone wanted. she read (short vowel)....

The question is so elementary it is ridiculous.

hello
in the present simple we add "s" or "es" to the verb when the subject is third person singular
e.g. he lives in london.
everyone wants peace.
she reads a book every friday.
she watches a movie every evening.
but
we never add "s" to past verbs so we cant say"he cames"

This is a common mistake. Confusing 'Spelling' and 'Pronunciation.'
Simple Present
You write like this--------> (come), but you pronounce like this ------> /kʌm/ . For example: I come from Argentina.
You write like this ----> (comes), but you pronounce like this ----> /kʌmz/. For example: She comes from Argentina.
