Total number of rakaats in the Fardh, Sunnat and Nafil of Zuhr Salaah

Q: Could you please specify how to read all the rakaats of Zuhr Salaah:

E.g. Zuhr - Four Sunnah (Surah Faatihah and a Surah in all four rakaats) then four fardh (Surah Faatihah and a Surah in the first two and in the second two, only Surah Faatihah), then is two Sunnah (Surah Faatihah and a Surah in both rakaats) and last for Zuhr is two nafl (Surah Faatihah and a Surah in both rakaats).

A: What you have explained is correct.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
