If you meant sulfur and oxigen, the answer is simply yes!

If you burn sulfur you got SO2, which is a gas, and looks like this:

<O=S=O>

<,> being the lone pairs, = being a double bond
Also there is SO3:
^
O
||
<O=S=O>

So yes sulfur and oxigen can form covalent bonds!
SO2 is commonly used as a preservative gas, for example in a bag of chips.
