Bonjour Judy !

First of all, remember that "ce que" is never used to ASK a question, so no ambiguity there :)
As for the difference of usage between "que" and "ce que" when they introduce a clause in a sentence, here is the link to a lesson which should clarify that point for you:
Ce que (vs ce qui) = what/which (French Relative Pronouns)

I hope that's helpful!
