A complete predicate must start with a verb. 'The first day of the semester' is a complete subject. It is WHAT the sentence would be about. "With the new books and schedules in hand" is a prepositional phrase, which simply adds information to a sentence. "Because of the slamming of the lockers and the shouts of the students" is an introductory clause. "Could not be heard above the voices in the hallway" is the only complete predicate.
So the verb is "to use" and the tense is the past conditional. This is indicated by the words, "has been". Like, "I have used," or something similar.
The word "had" or "have" is almost always indicative of either the past perfect or past conditional.
The opposite of that is the past, or preterite tense, as in it definitely happened, as in, "I used it".
Hope that helped
Select a noun or pronoun that is the object of the preposition.
The crowd around us is growing larger.
around = preposition; us = pronoun that is the object of the preposition.
