Many of us have noted, and even discussed on this group, Mathematica's
inexplicable -- or is it just obstinate? -- refusal to put labelled Tick
marks at the origin, even when there's plenty of room for them and no
interfering axis in the way, or even an explicit request to do so, e.g.
PlotRange->{{0, 1}, {-2.1, 2.1}};
Ticks->{{0.5, 1.0}, {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2}};
This note is just to put on record a minor gimmick that most Mathematica
experts probably already know: if you convert the second line to
Ticks->{{0.5, 1.0}, {-2, -1, {0.001,"0"}, 1, 2}};
you'll get just what you want (unless of course Mathematica decides to
strike back at you in some hidden way elsewhere as punishment for your
sneaking around its rigid rules and regulations).
