    Simple past and past participle of boost.

    The marketing campaign boosted quarterly revenue by a wide margin.

    Confidence among investors was boosted by the strong earnings report.

    Note

    One regular -ed form does double duty. It is the plain past (the news boosted morale) and, after have or be, the participle of perfect and passive clauses (morale was boosted). Every sense of boost takes an object, so the passive comes easily. The same spelling also carries the slang meaning 'stole' (his car got boosted), the Canadian jump-start, and having received a booster shot.
