If the "phrase" you are quoting is this: "an interesting novel provides good entertainment" it is not a phrase; it is a complete sentence. Therefore it would not be considered something called a "gerund phrase." A phrase is simple a group of words without both a noun or finite verb. In your example, "novel" is the subject, and "provides" the active verb, with "entertainment" the object of the sentence. A gerund is a verb used as a noun, often used as the subject of a sentence. (example: Cooking is my best skill.) In your sentence, "novel" is a word that means a book of fiction. It's a "naming word" a definition of a noun. The word "novel" is one of the English words that have a variety of meanings depending on context. It can be used as an adjective ("She had a novel idea..." meaning an unusual idea, not a book idea lol)
