You can strum a guitar in various ways. You can strum with your thumb only, with your index finger (nail side strumming the strings), with your thumb and index (thumb supporting the index finger, simulation of holding a pick) and even with all your fingers. There are many ways of strumming the guitar, maybe some that I haven't mentioned here. It really depends on what the individual guitarist prefers though and what they find easiest

if its classical you can either use your thum in a vertical motion across the strings over the sound hole, or you can alternate your index and middlefinger in the same pattern.

The most proper way to pluck a guitar with is your fingers, or a pick. You could also use anything else thin and flexible.

How can you use a guitar without making any sound?

You can, it is just rather quiet. An acoustic guitar is designed to amplify its own sound. This happens because the sound waves travel into the hole in an acoustic, they reverberate and echo out through the hole. An electric (typically) does not have a hole for this purpose, so all you can hear are the strings reverberating. But you can hear it if you strum the string hard.
