Note
One regular -ed spelling does two jobs. Standing alone it is the finite past (his voice boomed across the hall). After have it forms the perfect (trade has boomed). A passive with be works only where boom takes an object, as in a command boomed at the crowd. Its intransitive uses, such as flourishing, an animal's territorial call or a sonic boom, therefore stay active.
