Why do the pedals of my mountain bike just spin?

I have an old mountain bike that I really don't care to fix up. Only one or two gears work. The problem is when I pedal, usually after I have coasted, the pedals will just spin. They will catch again but sometimes it takes awhile sometimes not. This is very annoying. The chain doesn't come off. Is there an easy way to fix it or just get rid of it.
