Look at the endings.... Is one singular and one plural? Is tenemos singular or plural?

It will be that easy = singular or plural.
If you are speaking to one person, saying don't buy: no compres (tú) and no compre (usted)
If you are speaking to more than one person = no compréis (vosotros) but no compren ustedes)
That's it for the negative, HOWEVER the affirmative command for tú is just like the 3rd-person singular of the Present tense.
Compra (tú) but Compre (usted)
Comprad (vosotros) but Compren (ustedes)
