They make sense to me as an English speaker. CREATE TABLE more or
less has a *description* of the table to be created, while ALTER
TABLE contains *actions* to take. ADD COLUMN, DROP COLUMN, INHERIT.
They are sub-commands.
In normal conversation you might say "Jane rides the bus to work."
But if you want to change that, you might say "Jane, ride your
bicycle to work."
