I may be wrong, but I think that the Lewis dot structure of CH4O consists of the Carbon atom being bonded to three of the Hydrogen atoms, and the Oxygen atom. The Oxygen atom then is bonded to the remaining Hydrogen (as it is an OH group) and the electrons to fill O's octet are then drawn in.

H3 - C - O - H two lone pairs on oxygen

three hydrogen on carbon

Phosgene, or CCl2O begins the Lewis dot structure with a C atom in the center. There is a single double bonded O atom to the north and one single bonded Cl atom to the east and west. The two Cl have three pair of dots, one on each unbonded side, and the O has one pair on two unbonded sides.

Lone pair on Phosphorous, the two Cl's are single bonds on the phosphorous, the O is a connected to the Phosphorous via a single bond as well, the H is single bonded to the O, the O has two lone pairs.
