Expletive "ne"

For

J'ai eu peur que nous ________ trop tard

I answered "ne soyons arrivés" but this was marked wrong. "Soyons arrivés" was given as corrrect.

Am I missing something with the expletive "ne" (which I do find a bit confusing!) Could you explain?

Thanks in advance,

Ian

Sorry again. The second sentence has only “dîner” without the “le”. Is there a reason for that?
