Hydrogen bonds and covalent bonds are two completely different things. Covalent bonds share an electron, while hydrogen bonds (just for water molecules) act like magnets- the Oxygen atom has a slight negative charge and it "attracts" the Hydrogen atoms, which have a slight positive charge.

Hydrogen is a chemical element, not a type of bond. Hydrogen molecules are bound together by covalent bonds. Hydrogen bonds covalently in most of its compounds, but ionic hydrides do exist. There is also a phenomenon known as hydrogen bonding. This is not an actual type of chemical bond but is rather a type of dipole interaction.
