Why is 봐 used in this sentence? 토요일 아침에 시장을 봐요. My book says that this means, "I shop for groceries on Saturday mornings." But to me, that sentence looks like it says, "I go look at the market on Saturday morning." I know 봐 is actually 보다 conjugated, but why is it used in this sentence? Isn't 봐 only used to say "to look" or "to try?"

시장 보다 ① go to market ② do some shopping at a market (I looked for the Korean-English dictionary.) But I think it's close to 1+2.
