The word "attempt" can be either a transitive verb or a noun. It can be spelled the same in either use. The context of the sentence it is used in determines which part of speech it is. The sentence "He made an attempt to run a mile," uses the noun form of the word. If the sentence was written "He attempted to run a mile," then it would be a transitive verb.
