Is it required to separate the fard (obligatory) prayer from the sunnah (supererogatory) prayer, even if I am praying alone?

It is recommended to separate the obligatory prayer (fard) from the supererogatory prayer (nafilah) by speaking or by moving from the place of the obligatory prayer, whether the obligatory prayer was performed in congregation or individually. This is for the reason of increasing the places of prostration, or to distinguish between the obligatory and the non-obligatory prayer.
