Chemistry question... a few queries about molecule shapes (VESPR)?

Hi, I'm little confused...

If a molecule forms a tetrahedron shape with one pair of unbonded electrons, that makes it a triangular pyramid shape right?

Also, what kind of molecule would result in a linear shape rather than a V-shaped (like H20)? Would it be one with two free electron pairs

any answers with a basic rundown of how the shapes form would be great
