An adverb is a descriptive word that modifies a verb.

In a sentence that uses 'soaked': "Dave soaked Karen at the water gun festival, and thereafter she was soaked," 'soaked' is used first as a past-tense verb, and second as predicate adjective modifying 'Karen.' Therefore, one may conclude that 'soaked' is not an adverb.
