In propositional logic, we create well-formed formulas out of logical connective symbols and propositional variables. Then we can consider a valuation function that first assigns a true/false value to each propositional variable, and then assigns a true/false value to every well-formed formula by certain rules. If I'm not mistaken, all well-formed formulas of the form $$ \varphi \vee \neg\varphi $$ (where $\varphi$ is a well-formed formula) are true for all possible valuations, so they are tautologies. Thus, we can conclude that the law of excluded middle holds for propositional logic.
Now in first-order logic, I know that we need to assign an interpretation or structure to our language, and then based on certain rules we assign true/false values to the relevant well-formed formulas that are propositions.
Question: In FOL, does every wff of the form $\varphi \vee \neg\varphi$ (where $\varphi$ is a wff) always evaluate to being true? Truth assignment in first-order logic seems so different than in propositional logic that I am not able to reason through such a simple question.
