Ingrate or ingrate ( one word ) means someone who refuses to be thankful for a favor or gift--
The little ingrate never even mentioned the present we sent him.
You have a lot to be thankful for; don't talk like an ingrate.
In great or in great ( two words, rhymes with ingrate ) means large in quantity or number, or, more informally, (in) marvelous or fabulous--
Is he in great pain?
The people turned out in great numbers to watch the funeral procession.
He's in great shape for his age.
Now that you know that, you can say--
"Only a real ingrate could refuse to appreciate how hard he works to keep this place in great condition."
