MIPS .data floating point

I have declared

.data
ZERO    .float     0.0

Later in my code, I want to put the value of ZERO into $f4

What instruction do I use to do that?

I'm new to MIPS, but this should work

 lwc1 $f4, ZERO($0)

According to this sample :)

Or if you use pseudo-instructions (lecture that I found):

la $a0, ZERO     #Load address
l.s $f5, 0($a0)  #Load single from memory a0[0]

There's a special register ($zero), but I think it's only used for integer operations (I'm not sure)
