Grammar

went over and mowed her lawn.

It is exactly the same as "I was at my aunt's house". It means that you were in a specific location. If you said "I was in my aunt's house", we would know that you entered the house. If you said "I was at my aunt's house", we can't know for sure whether you were in the house or whether you went over and mowed her lawn.

Please explain the highlighed words/phrases.

I have no idea what the "went over" could mean. But as to "mowed her lawn", I think, "cut the grass near her's aunt house to keep it short".

Please help me.
