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!".
