Bad grammar makes a piece of writing look amateurish.

But keep in mind that your own unpublished, unreviewed work is allowed to be unpolished. (Some would even encourage working your first couple drafts in an unpolished state.) The piece will be revised and proofed, maybe several times, by you and your readers before it's published.

So don't sweat it too much. Just write, and clean it up in revision. But do clean it up.
