loads (of)
Usage Note
Montón literally means a heap or pile (un montón de tierra). Colloquially, un montón de functions as an intensifier meaning 'loads of' or 'a ton of' (tengo un montón de trabajo = I have loads of work), and the adverbial phrase a montones means 'in abundance.' This informal intensifier use is very common in everyday speech.
Examples
"Hay un montón de libros en el suelo."
Natural Translation
There is a heap of books on the floor.
