You can Yii HTML helper for the this.

use yii\helpers\Html;
<?= Html::textInput('first_name','',array('class'=>'form-control')) ?>

Just add these fields as public attributes in the class of $model and add validation rules for them.

You can find more details about this in the Guide: Creating Forms.
