Hi! Hiba Positive zero error: If the zero marking of the Vernier scale lies on the right hand side of the zero marking of the main scale, then the error is said to be positive zero error Look at the position of zero of the vernier scale on main scale

Negative zero error: If the zero marking of the Vernier scale lies on the left hand side of the zero marking of the main scale, then the error is said to be negative zero error Look at the position of zero of the vernier scale on main scale

Hope this is clear to you!! Cheers!!
