There is a question in Minna no Nihongo, where I need to fit in ありました with the
〜んです pattern, such that the sentence makes sense.

おそかったですね。なにか _________ か。

How shall I fit it in, and what meaning will it give to the sentence?

Thanks.

question
translation meaning
How to place ありました with the 〜んです pattern, and the meaning of the resulting sentence
Change ありました into the plain form, あった, to be followed by んです:

> [遅]{おそ}かったですね。[何]{なに}かあったんですか。  
>  You're late. What happened?  
>  (Lit. [You] were late. Did anything happen?)
