What should we recite in the 3rd and 4th Raka'ah of a prayer?

The Details of the Question
I am confused and I don't want to make any mistakes while praying.
I know how to perfom a 3 Raka'ah fard prayer and a 2 Raka'ah fard prayer. But I am not sure about 4 Raka'ah prayers. Can you clarify this.
In the first and second Raka'ah after surah Fatiha we read a surah from Qur'an or 3 Ayat from Qur'an.
Are we going to do the same for 3rd and 4th Raka'ah as well ? or do we just go to rukoo after surah fatiha?
please help clarify.
jazakallah. The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
During the third and fourth rakats in the fard prayers, merely al-Fatiha (first chapter of the Quran) is recited. On the other hand, you can recite extra surahs after al-Fatiha. It is not any problem at all.
