Answer Question

    Your question is too general. When you say three wires , do you mean a white, black, and bare copper? If so ,pig tail off of the black (load) also the white (neutral)  connect bare copper there at the box. Run the wire to approved box and switch it.. At the switch box bring the white from the fan connect it to the white coming from the pig tail... Bring the black from the fan connect it to the screw on the switch, bring the other black (from the pig tail) and connect it to the other screw on the switch, the ground(bare copper has its place on the switch ( green screw).
    If you are saying you have a black, white, and another color (red,of purple) you have a  3 way switch. Sorry, I can't help
