What did they do in valley forge?
Pennsylvania encampment occupied by the American army from December 1777 to June 1778. The winter was particularly harsh, and the army was short on food, clothing, and supplies. But they hung on. The leadership of Commander-in-Chief George Washington and Baron von Steuben, the Prussian drill sergeant, kept the soldiers occupied and made them better, tougher soldiers in the end. In June 19, 1778, the army set out for New Jersey, where they fought the British to a stand-still just nine days later, at the Battle of Monmouth. Among the soldiers who were encamped with Washington at Valley Forge were Generals Nathanael Greene and Benedict Arnold; Alexander Hamilton, Washington's personal aide; the Marquis de Lafayette; and a man named John Marshall, who would go on to become the first famous Chief Justice of the United States. Valley Forge was not a battle.

Washington was able to use the time spent at Valley Forge to?
To train and drill his army and turn the men into regular soldiers. The way an army fights is tactics, and the tactics of the day were linear - the men lined up and faced the enemy line across the battlefield. All had muskets, which werent very accurate, and they would blaze away for a while and then one side or the other would charge at the enemy and the day would be decided with the bayonet. Keeping the line intact was complicated and the commands had to be obeyed promptly or the line would break. Going from column, as when marching along a road, into line when the enemy was encountered, was a complicated business which had to be done quickly. Washington's men knew little of these things before Valley Forge, meaning they were never a match for the British regular soldiers in a stand-up fight. After Valley Forge, in the Battle of Monmouth Courthouse, the British at first did not believe they were seeing Washington's army saying "Those are Regulars, by God!".
