A STRANGE SENTENCE

HOW DOES IT SOUND:

I HAVE HAD THREE YEARS TO SEE MY COUSIN.

It only works if you mean that it was possible to go see your cousin for the last three years (and previous to that you couldn ï¿½t).

That sentence structure could be used like this:

I ï¿½ve had three opportunities to ask him, but I ï¿½m too shy.

I ï¿½ve only had three minutes to get ready, please stop rushing me!

I ï¿½ve only had three minutes to see my cousin, please don ï¿½t make him leave yet!

Maybe it ï¿½s meant to be:

It ï¿½s been three years since I ï¿½ve seen my cousin.

Hope that helps!

Doesn ï¿½t sound too good I ï¿½m afraid. We need the context in which you ï¿½re going to use this sentence in order to evaluate if it ï¿½s correct or not. It can ï¿½t be used as a stand-alone sentence.
