SELECT name FROM actors LIMIT 20 OFFSET 700;

So you want to return the names from 701 to 720 you LIMIT your returned names to 20 values and you want to start at 701 so you will OFFSET 700 so that the first value you return is 701

SELECT * FROM actors ORDER BY id LIMIT 20 OFFSET 699;

This will display all actors with the id of 701 and 720;
