What is the meaning of "Aurélie n'est qu'allée au marché"? The above is one of the questions in the B1 Kwiz test. I just cannot understand the difference between the answers:- Aurélie only went to the market (and did nothing else) or (and went nowhere else)? I've tried reading the explanation page over and over but I don't see the difference between - and did nothing else and went nowhere else!!! Can someone make it simpler for a simple brain perhaps??

''Eva se fait laver les cheveux.'' means Eva is having her hair done?Am I correct in thinking that Eva se fait laver les cheveux means she is having her hair washed as well as she has her hair done? I am slightly thrown because has her hair done looks like a past perfect construction but se fait laver like a present.
