The Lewis structure for S8 shows a ring of eight sulfur atoms connected through single covalent bonds. Each sulfur atom has six electrons around it (two lone pairs and two shared electrons). It looks like an octagon with S atoms at each vertex.
In the Lewis structure for HClO4, hydrogen will be the central atom with one oxygen attached through a single bond and three oxygens attached through double bonds. Each oxygen will have a lone pair of electrons to satisfy the octet rule for all atoms. Hydrogen will have two valence electrons.
The Lewis structure for CH4 (methane) has a central carbon atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms. Each hydrogen atom shares one electron with the carbon atom, resulting in a total of four single bonds around the carbon atom.
It is a lewis base because of its lone pair of electrons that can be "donated". If you draw/look at the lewis structure it is much easier to tell. Especially when the formula is not that of an ion!
The Lewis structure for C2Cl4 shows two carbon atoms double-bonded to each other with two chlorine atoms attached to each carbon atom. This creates a linear structure with the two chlorine atoms on each carbon atom in a trans configuration.

Will this link help you?, it is quite impossible to draw a Lewis dot structure in this simple text editor. See related links.
O=O The Lewis dot structure without the lone pairs of electrons.
Draw C triple bond O, and placec a lone pair of electrons on the C and another on the O.
