which adverbs can't have a 'not' after them?

How can time be negated if it's the negation is not used contrastively such as in "I didn't see him yesterday." or "I saw him not yesterday."? For me, I very often move time adverbs, frequency adverbs, or other types of adverbs to a position before the negation just to prevent them from being negated, such as saying "Yesterday I didn't see him.", instead of "I didn't see him yesterday.", because in my native language, if those types of adverbs are negated, it usually sounds very strange and may not even make sense. They are the many adverbs that I listed in this thread. For example, In my native language, saying "It is not in fact possible." or "I don't even like it." does not make sense at all; instead you have to say "... even don't ... " and "... in fact not ...".

Does it sound unnatural to place "indeed" between the subject and the verb or negation? Do these all sound unnatural?
`
it indeed is/will/can/does/has
it indeed isn't/is not/won't/will not/can't/cannot/doesn't/does not/hasn't/has not
indeed it isn't
it is/will/does/has indeed not
I indeed am/will/can/do/have
I indeed am not/won't/will not/can't/cannot/don't/do not/haven't/have not
I am/will/can/do/have indeed not

It depends on the context- I, indeed, am sounds fine to me pointing to something earlier in the text, but I indeed am sounds unnatural when just used to emphasise- I would put it after 'am'.

Your grammar is sick?

(Better: "I am not very good at grammar.")

[Suggestion: When learning a new language, avoid, as much as possible, translating from that language to your native language. Don't ask the question, "Does it sound right in my native language?" The new language is going to have its own rules, and you shouldn't try to make the new language fit the patterns of your native language.]
