Hola Gertrud

We sometimes use that "que" in indirect speech using preguntar when it is followed by a why, when, how... but you can omit it too, so you can say:

Me pregunta que por qué quiero ir a Marte.

Me pregunta por qué quiero ir a Marte.

Other examples could be;

Me preguntó [que] cuándo llegaba Mario.

She asked me when Mario was arriving.

Te estoy preguntando [que] cómo haces tú ese pastel.

I am asking you how you make that cake.

I hope this clarified it. 

Is this what you were wondering about? 

Saludos

Inma
